Mental Recession Comment Insults American People

Republican John McCain hired former Senator Phil Gramm to prop up his admitted weakness in economic policy. Instead, the financial guru, as McCain has referred to him, has insulted each and every American who struggle to keep their homes, put food on the table and who vote....yeah, remember Mr. Guru...we vote! I would love to see Mr. Gramm come to Montgomery, Alabama and tell Mr. and Mrs. Consumer that their house is not REALLY in foreclosure but rather this is a "mental foreclosure" and if it is a real foreclosure stop whining about it. Perhaps $4 per gallon of gas is just a mirage and if we rub our eyes it will go away. The audacity of such a comment is a clear indication that Mr. Gramm, McCain and the entire Republican party is in an unreasonable, irrational state of denial. Since when did they have to fill up their own vehicle or buy their own groceries even? The next comment from him will be "let them eat cake"!

BELLEVILLE, Mich. — Senator John McCain has spent the week trying to tell people that he feels their economic pain. So it was more than a little unhelpful when one of his top economic advisers was quoted Thursday as saying that the United States was only in a “mental recession” and that it had become a “nation of whiners.”
