Gramm: "A Nation of Whiners"

Former Rethug Senator and current McBush "economix" guru Phil Gramm has some advice for Americans: "Stop whining! This is only a mental recession!" Yes, that's the substance of what moneybags Phil told the Washington Moonie Times. Gramm, whose banking deregulation obsession played a large part in the current mortgage lending fiasco, would expect to be at the top of the list for Treasury Secretary in a McBush assministration, where he could be expected to extend his "Let them eat cake" social darwinist philosophy to all of us whiners.
