Gramm only said two things...
1) With persistance, you really can talk a good economy into the tank. (He’s right about that.)
2) A nation of “whatever it takes winners” has become a nation of do-nothing “whiners.” (He’s right about that too.)
But because the last three generations of Americans have been trained to “whine” instead of “win,” it was a very unwelcome message...
No matter, that’s where we are and after the “whiners” complete their mission of causing the nation to collapse, “winners” will rebuild it again.
That’s how it has always been throughout history and we are watching history repeat itself.
"Whip inflation now" was an idea of genius. I was out of work so fast I got whiplash. That was old Gerry Ford.
