A Top McCain Advisor Says It's All "Mental"
Former Sen. Phil Gramm, a top economic adviser to presumptive GOP nominee John McCain, referred to the economic slowdown as "a mental recession" and called the United States “a nation of whiners.”

So now anyone who complains about gas prices, food prices, and the rising costs of getting by are now whiners? This guy doesn't have a clue about what people are going through in this country right now, DT. This is one of McCain's
top advisers ?

The whining part comes from looking to big gov for our weekly pay check.

Either way, to try to paint the economic realities (of hard-working tax paying Americans) as a figment of their imagination is ridiculous.

You didn't get one, but I am sure your wife did. Don't you rule the roost in your hen house? Order her to send that check back on principle!
BTW, on behalf of all the families living off your taxes, I say a heartfelt thank you.
