Public Opinion: A Nation of Whiners?
Former Sen. Phil Gramm, the McCain economic adviser, said that the country is in a "mental recession" and that the United States has "become a nation of whiners." McCain immediately disavowed Gramm's comments. Is Gramm right? Is the United States a nation of whiners? Post your thoughts below.

Watch the signs and maybe you'll win or your loss will be less.
Our country is based on what we are fed by the Press
and most people believe whatever is written by Graduates
of a very important school where the attendee received
facts and what has happened to the textbook writer and most
didn't earn money the old fastion way (work hard and saved
all their life and along the way devoloped the fact stock buyers
make money and some loose money it is a game if chance. If you learn as you go it can only be attributed to the fact common sense came in the picture somewhere along the way. We are at the top of the mountain if knowledge and we all will learn a lot in the next few months that we can only imagine and think if we only were like our grandparents pay as you go and don't get it if you don't need it. Pay for it and don't buy anything else until it's paid off or "for". It's a lesson on pay now or pay me later "but your going to have to pay....."
Phil Gramm and whiners
I agree with Senator Gramm. Any country, whose citizens will pay $40/gal for Starbucks coffee, $25/gal for boutique water to drink and $340/gal for fingernail polish, and then bitch about paying $4/gal for gasoline, is a nation of whiners
whining about whining
*note-- All of the above comments are, in fact, additional whinings, furhter proving that we are a nation of whiners even when whining about our whining.
