6:55 PM PT: Hahaha, Biden mocks Romney and Ryan for saying they have the courage to make the tough calls ... without having the courage to say what calls they would make.
6:55 PM PT: And now he's talking Medicare. "What they didn't tell you is that" their Medicare plan would bankrupt it by 2016. "They're not for preserving Medicare at all." They've got a new plan. "It's called voucher care."
6:56 PM PT: On deficit reduction: "Not once, not one single time, did they tell you that they rejected every single plan put forward by us." Why? Because they wouldn't accept even one new cent of taxes on millionaires.
6:57 PM PT: Governor Romney doesn't believe it's important for American companies to invest in America, Biden says. He supports tax breaks for companies overseas, Biden says.
