Live video: Joe Biden in St. Cloud

Not as catchy as Orwell's "Ignorance Is Strength"

Vice President Joe Biden held a town-hall meeting on beefing up the middle class in St. Cloud today. Watch live streaming video via the UpTake after the jump.

The setting for Biden’s appearance — a New Flyer of America Bus Co. plant that last year hired 90 people to build low-emission, alternative-fuel vehicles — has something in common with Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak’s choice of locale for his State of the City address next week: the new Coloplast corporate campus on West River Parkway, a company that brought 200 jobs to Minneapolis when the company relocated from Georgia.

Another thing the venues have in common: Both companies are owned by foreign firms.
