Phil Gramm and the "nation of whiners"


Former Texas U.S. Senator and chief McCain economic advisor and campaign co-chair gets a mention as a "Hot Political Mess".

A few months back, Gramm mentioned that we were imagining the recession and the American people had become a nation of whiners over the economy.

I wonder if the last two weeks have changed Gramm's thoughts on our whining and imagination?

I took great offense to the comments. Not because I have totally disagreed with Gramm for years but because his comments were far from reality. I see day after day people struggling to pay for food, childcare and basic necessities. I don't see any imagination or whining.


A couple articles have appeared this week looking back at Gramm's whining statements.
