Does anyone have the whole transcript?
There was a video yesterday at the PMSNBC site.
I saw it last night when I flipped channels after The First 48.
MCCain better hope the RATs don’t decide to use that video.
Really.
Never mind, although it stil may be on that site. I got your post mixed up with the one with McCain trying to answer the news babe about birth control and insurance companies. You do not want to see that.
Terrible, just terrible. Worse than a deer in the headlights moment.
Here’s full context of what Phil Gramm REALLY SAID.
“You’ve heard of mental depression; this is a mental recession,” he said, noting that growth has held up at about 1 percent despite all the publicity over losing jobs to India, China, illegal immigration, housing and credit problems and record oil prices. “We may have a recession; we haven’t had one yet.” “We have sort of become a nation of whiners,” he said. “You just hear this constant whining, complaining about a loss of competitiveness, America in decline” despite a major export boom that is the primary reason that growth continues in the economy, he said. “We’ve never been more dominant; we’ve never had more natural advantages than we have today,” he said. “We have benefited greatly” from the globalization of the economy in the last 30 years. “Misery sells newspapers,” Mr. Gramm said. “Thank God the economy is not as bad as you read in the newspaper every day.”
