So, Phillip Gramm, some economic advisor for the white house who has a doctorate in economics, told The Washington Times that the United States was "a nation of whiners" in a "mental recession."
"We have sort of become a nation of whiners," Gramm told the Times. "You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline. ... You've heard of mental depression. This is a mental recession."
... What?
Wait, WHAT? You are you FUCKING joking me?
Gas costs 5 dollars a gallon; the housing industry down the tubes; people cock their eyebrows at a 600 dollar stiumuls check the government sends us, wondering what the FUCK we can possibly do with "so little money"; Social Security picks on people like my mother and I simply to be assbags, and this D-bag thinks we're WHINING?
Oh my god. And this douche is supposed to be Treasurer if McCain wins the election.
FUCK. THAT.
I bet this bastard thinks the War in Iraq is "all in our minds", too.
