So, you’re saying there aren’t a lot of people who whine about life in America today? There aren’t a lot of people who expect to have their nice little lives handed to them on a silver platter on the backs of the taxpayers via the federal government?
I think that’s what was wrong with the GOP when it ran congress. They left their conservatism behind to pander to whiners.
What I am saying is that weasels like Gramm profited immensely from creating the corrupt system we now have, that led directly to fiascos like Enron and the subprime crisis. They were the ones who undid basic oversight and limitations that would have prevented such. And someone like Gramm really doesn't feel the impact of $4 gas and higher food prices. But the working stiffs do.
I don't begrude for a minute a wealthy person who earned their money through enterprise. But Gramm earned it through political access via his wife. He of all people is in no position to lecture people about whining when his actions led to some of the problems we have today.
