Phil Gramm is a fucking treasonous piece of shit that should be hung in the town square. That STUPID motherfucker let the genie out of the bottle by being an ignorant douchebag corrupt asshole.

We are not in a depression!!!! What is luxury? It is a sign of well being, it is a sign of anything but depression. Air travel is very luxurious in nature. It is the most luxurious way to travel because of many factors but most of all it's convenience. Convenience=luxury So why is it that some airline companies reported the largest profits in history just last quarter? Because there is no real depression. Obama would have you believe that so he can claim to have brought America out of it...

@collegeswimx Five star comment! But don't waste your good hand on such an ugly old fool. Phil Gramm has never been in a fight in his life. He is a professional whimp. Look at who he married.
@pillowbugg Maybe you didn't lose your house like i almost did and a few friends of mine did. Knowing you might have to forclose on your home anyday is a scary thing.
@3nderoX This has nothing to do with you losing your home. It has to do with people bitching about anything and everything. People feel that they are entitled to everything under the sun. I'm sorry to hear of your situation, but your not on task with your reply,.
People just want whats owed to them. We pay into medicare,social security. They borrow the money out of social security for wars.They give corporations,rich,etc subsidies,tax cuts and bail them out.And then they say we should have all the burden and shut the hell up.
sorry to say i kind of see his point, many people don't appreciate how good we have it in this country. People complain about the military and all that well at least we aren't getting trained at 12 years old to chop off peoples hands and kill our own parents.

Haha.. Why didn't you win the election McCain? It kinda hurts when someone on your team insults the whole nation, calling them 'a nation of whiners.' Wake up Phil, some of it is TRUE. You also might have told McCain that the fundamentals of our economy are not strong at all.
Old worthless piece of shit and his wifes a piece of shit too. Too bad theres not a hell for this rich greedy-ass fool. Corrupt as hell too. Id love to see someone punch this idiot in his face.

I think what today's politicians are saying when there isn't a recession anymore is that we went through a transistory economy from an industrial economy to a service economy.

And I think that this is where Phil Gramm and McCain made their mistake. McCain could of won but he didn't distinguish between the two types of economies and he lost.

Whining and being a whimp is a specialty of Phil Gramms. Phil Gramm was whining about whining and the fact that people are upset about the economy and it hurts himself and mcCain. I have never seen a bigger pansy than Phil Gramm.
nation of whiners, well the recession is completly wall streets and rich greedy classes fault. we earned the right to bitch. it would be like going to a mcdonalds and paying for your meal then have them spit in your hand and say get the fuck out. then calling that customer a whiner. apprently we all need to growup and be adults, except when it comes to things like personal freedom, so in a sense you old fuck, you created this so called nation of whiners, go fuck yourself
Phil Gramm is lucky if he JUST gets whining from the people....most of us know that he and these (especially the republican) politicians deserve and hopefully will get a lot more in all of this.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This guy is EXACTLY on the money. What we need is less regulation and less government intervention. We've truly become a nation of whiners that complain when Washington decides not to hold our little hands when trying to get out of our problems.
That's why Phil Gramm and John Sydney McCain would have made a great economic team in the White House. this guy gets it. Gramm is a BRILLIANT Washington insider and knows how to handle the economy better than just about anybody. Oh well.
Does it take years and years of hard work and endless practice to become as STUPID as you? The stripping away of depression era laws to protect the bankers from themselves and the blocking of regulation by the CFTC (Brooksly Born) and all 50 states attorney generals (by OCC) led directly to this mess.
man....thank god we dogged that bullet. Can you imagine what would've happen if he was in charge with unemployment topping 10%! They would've sit back and did NOTHING.
This is the guy that eliminated all regulatory oversight on Wall Street. He belongs in prison. He is one of those responsible for the world economic collapse. He now lobbies for UBS.
But he's on the same side as Obama, Boosh, Juan McCain, and all the fake Democrats and fake Republicans. Wake up people. Their all on the same side. This economic "crisis" was planned and executed exactly to plan. Stop thinking Jorge Boosh, Juan McCain, or Barry Obama are looking out for you. They don't give a fuck about you. We live in the United States of Goldman Sachs! Wake the fuck up!
Yeah right! The only queer I see here is the one on this video who speaks with a goldfish in his mouth. Gramm is one of the most hated guys on this earth right now.
Did I say his is a crook? Screw the people of this nation and make sure you give yourselves raises and then screw the nation, and be set up for life by the whiners of this nation,......something,....people is really wrong here! We are getting screwed by common criminals and letting them get away with it!
Prison is too good for this fithy thieving piece of shit. And why isn't the liberal media up his ass with a microscope? how dare this thieving cocksucker call the people he was robbing whiners.
Put phil gramm and his accomplices in the electric chair.
Why isn't this pig in jail right now? They'll throw 14 year old black and Hispanic kids in jail for looking at someone cross-eyed but rich white men in suits who steal billions of dollars get to walk free? Really shows where the priorities of this country are.
This is the guy that brought us this economic disaster.
In 1999 Phil Gramm led the effort to repeal the Glass Steagall act of 1933 that regulated the banking and financial services industries. He was influenced by the lobbies of both these groups. Clinton signed the bill.
What can you expect from a state that gave us George Bush, Sr, George Bush, Jr., Lyndon Johnson and Phill Gramm...all losers.
By the way Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover gave us the Depression...Both Republicans.
Hace unos años, dos padres salían a cenar. Pocas horas después, la niñera fue llamando a preguntar si podía cubrir hasta el payaso estatua en la sección para niños de habitación, el padre dijo:Llevar a los niños y salir de la casa. Vamos a llamar a la policía, don ' T tener una estatua payaso. El payaso estatua es en realidad un asesino que escapó de la cárcel. Si no publicar esta carta en el 10 videos de esta noche, será el payaso en su cama a las 3 am con una motosierra en la mano
It is the rich folks that are the whiners... Oh, I lost that, oh I lost this and I can't take my vacation to Hawaii! Why don't you whiners go call the whambulance. * rolls eyes*
I love how the U.S. has continued to protect Japan with our military for free since World War 2. Japan has no military expenses (because they have no military), so the Japanese government pours all of its money into research and development for sony/honda/toyota/etc. and then those companies slaughter American companies that aren't being funded by the American govt. because the American govt. would rather drain the federal budget building our military and waging pointless wars.
Phil Gramm was the main architect of the financial collapse. And there is an easily provable quid pro quo where he became rich in return for legislation. This southern fried asshole needs to die in prison.
Sorry, meant to give you another thumbs up, but I clicked the thumbs down.....Phil Gramm and 2 other Republicans spearheaded the drive to repeal the depression era firewall that separated commercial banking from investment banking, with no consideration for the long term effects on the consumer. So called economists never seem to take into consideration the human factor, it is just numbers. From what I understand Bill Clinton had to sign it, as it was veto proof. Poster child of the RP>PG.
We are in a recession, true, and we ARE a nation of whiners. Our new president's campaign premise was built on giving Americans something for nothing and he won. Our founders basically said, when the people find out they can vote to take money from some and give it to others it's all over. Well, that was Obama's selling point and he won so where do we go from here?
A nation of whiners?? Yes. Because corrupt scumbags like you Mr.Gramm and your greedy fucking cronies have used your political savvy to set yourselves up like kings, at the expense of people that actually work for a living. Now that we are on very thin ice, you dont want to hear us?? FUCK YOU Mr.Gramm you mentally defective, lying, scamming crook. Rot in HELL!
what a asshole the rich have benefited the last 8 years taking more for them at the expense of the average joe facts not whining this out of touch neo con war pig the last 8 years was all about the greatest transfer of wealth since 1929 this douchebag was one of the reason along with clintons freetrade and gwbush stealing both elections katrina 911 on his watch iraq mortgage crisis it doesn't matter who is in power as neocons control the money they are in the private fed reserve and control all
What a f*cking liar this scumbag is. He is the one who got rid of the Glass Steagall Act in favor of the Gramm, Leach, Blighly Act in 1999. He helped to destroy our Economy.
Signed by your other hero, Bill "BJ" Clinton. How quickly you people forget. Here's the deal, politician are all assholes, including Obama, yeah I said it. If you think for one second that Obama, Clinton (Bill or Hill), Pelosi or any other of your Social Dems isn't out for #1, you have your head way up your ass.
you're nothing but a fermented turd-ball. go sneaking in a bill to enrich you're wife at enron, yea i see you have nothing to whine about ya snake turd.
Still true today. The ground gives us everything we need to live. The recession is due to people wanting things that they couldn't afford and buying them anyway. Now that our global slave pool has become wealthier, the cost of our goods is beginning to approximate what it would cost if we actually produced things ourselves.
We need to make a decision. Do we want to be imperialist, and keep costs low, or do we want to spread freedom and pay true costs? Not a loaded question, just a choice.
My point is human nature and deregulation of banks and corperations. Since the beginning of time most people get overcome with greed and sadly the more they get the more they want. Obviously it doesn't apply to everyone but from my personal experiance I don't think I would be out of line to say it does with more than half and I'm being conservative with that figure. The economies in shambles and this idiot say's how dare you whine. His legislation is at least partially responsible.
I should be shocked but I'm net even mildly surprised. These people are the the eqivalent of the nobles in ancient England. Nothing matters to them but more money and power for them and they don't care who they destroy to get it. It seems from the last election that people are finally waking up. These people would screw there own mothers if the price was right then justify it by saying "She's old and she didn't need it anyway." I've seen so called honest men do just that. And they wern't hurting
This shows just how out of touch Phil Gramm is, when much of the turmoil in the financial markets is his fault since he was the primary sponsor of the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act.
Phil Gramm is a criminal, to the ruin of the U.S. and world economies: Jewish CEO's and mega-principles in these bad derivatives (euphamis for jewish shell-game scam) WOULD HAVE PAID OFF THIS SCUM - THE F.B.I. SHOULD FIND THE PAPER TRAIL, THE CONNECTION. THIS SCUM SHOULD DO LIFE IN PRISON FOR LETTING THE JEWS LOOSE IN THE HEN HOUSE.
The banking deregulation was supported and authorized by guys like Jim Leach (founder of "Republicans for Obama" and fund-raiser for Obama), Rob Rubin (former Clinton´s Secretary of the Treasury and Obama´s advisor) and Lawrence Summers (Obama´s advisor and candidate for next Secretary of Treasury). "Rob Rubin worked hard on this" (Bill Clinton, november 1999).
I don't know why this is marked as spam, it's absolutely correct. Does no one else see that everyone he's putting in has already been there with Clinton and Bush? Look at where we are today. The gov has scammed us all. You're seeing the world's largest pyramid scheme ever. There's not a damn thing any one of you will do either. You're all going to sit and take it up the ass because you're scared of the gov. You're all sheep, go eat your grass, faten until the shepherds lead you to the slaughter.
How the BUSH fam TOGETHER WITH the BIN LADEN fam MADE TENS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS WITH THEIR CARLYLE GROUP ON THE WARS IN IRAQ, AFGANISTAN... AFTER 9 11...
CANADA CALLING! Apparently this is the prick that pushed/caused the deregulation that fucked your banking system!!!!!! Prosecute him, Gorelick the crooked lib (Countrywide) the fleecing CEO's of huge corrupt institutes - PRISON TIME PLUS GARNISH THEIR HOMES AND ASSETS AND GET BACK THESE 20 + million dollar bonuses they paid themselves just before their ships went down! YOUR BEING JEW-FUCKED - Get some bloody justice done down there!!!! (It affects YOU and Us on this planet!!
Every word Phil Gramm said was true: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA IS A NATION OF WHINERS! If you don't like the way this country is being run, you do have the right to do something about it: VOTE for change! You also have another right: LEAVE! (Nobody is pointing a gun to your head forcing you to stay!) Move to Canada or Europe and see how you like paying nearly all of your income on taxes. And the health care (in Canada) is half-ass.
Why doesn't the Obama campaign just show this video over and over and over on tv ads? Want to know why American's are whining, Phil? It's because people are losing their retirement funds. My parents are 59 and 57, have saved like they should have, own their own business and have done great for 32 years, only to watch their IRAs get beaten down. They are "whining" because morons in Washington have allowed this FRAUD to occur. In the words of Jim Cramer...."THEY KNOW NOTHING"
It's laughable to hear someone who makes a six figure salary, courtesy of the tax payer, has the unmitidated gaulle to claim that the people who pay his salary are "whiners". Way to pick an adviser, Johnny-boy!!
Phil is just a part of the 50 Lbs. of fecal matter caked to the colon walls of this country's governmental system that is in bad need of a barium enema.
Is he a psychologist? Last time I checked he didn't have a degree in Cognitive Psychology. >_> You don't imagine something like your home being foreclosed.
Ever since the days of Reagan we've been led to believe that consumption was next to godliness, and that that deregulation would get us to greater prosperity and better services. For a few, that was true. For the rest, well, any discomfort is mostly mental. Right, Phil?
Can somebody please send a giant bitch slap across Phil Gramm's senile mummy head? We are currently reaping the harvest of his deregulatory actions as the head of the Senate Banking Committe, including today's 440 Dow drop as a result of so many financial institutions going under. He is currently serving as McCain's advisor. Instead, he should be arrested, tried & hung from the nearest sour apple tree for causing so much misery for pressing on with his idiotic dogmatic laissez-faire pipe dreams.
Technically this man is correct about the USA recession. However, the GDP is exagerated by the rebuilding after Hurricane Katrina and war speding. Thus, although the statistics do not show a recession, the USA certainly is having real problems along with Europe in Real Estate and energy.
But, the poor manner of American politics is unexcuseable. Many Americans are suffering loss of home and jobs. Sad really.
What do the TOP 10 US cities with the HIGHEST POVERTY RATE have in common? - DEMOCRAT leadership! Detroit The Poorest City in America last Republican mayor 1961 (47 years) Buffalo 2nd 1954 (54 yrs) Cincinnati 3rd since 1984 (24 yrs) Cleveland 4th since 1989 (19 yrs) Miami 5th NEVER had Republican Mayor St. Louis 6th since 1949 (59 yrs) El Paso 7th NEVER had Republican Mayor Milwaukee 8th since 1908; (100 yrs) Philadelphia 9th since 1952 (56 yrs) Newark 10th since 1907(101 yrs)
This is McCain's former economic adviser. To be fair, if you link Gramm's baggage to McCain then you have to link Jim Johnson's ethical issues with Countrywide Financial to Obama.
maybe people are whinning because of the leglislation he helped write and pass is the prime reason for many woes today. this man and his crooked wife should be thrown in jail and have the keys thrown away.
Exactly Talktal! Well, with all the problems that the market is having due to Phil Gramm's globalism, I am glad to see people are laughing at him. McCain laughed at him and then kicked him out of his campaign. Nevertheless, people have seen through Phil Gramm and they see a wimp.
Why should wealthy people pay for public schools, healthcare, etc?!?! We don't even use these services!! The Middle class and poor people are the ones that use these public services!
Lehnman brothers did go belly up today, but do not tell Gramm unless you give him some Prozac. I am glad that I had a good economics professor, verses Phil Gramm.
We are a nation of whiners? Oh because you and John Mcain have enough money to purchase 7 houses ranging from a million dollars and up and we, them middle class people work three jobs and still can't pay bills on time? You rich yuppies got a tax break while we got a tax increase. We simply say We want change and we are the whiners? BULL SHIT
oh, that's cool, so, self appointing yourself as a doctor automatically means you can diagnose a country eh? what about your family...i mean, unless they're some illegal bunch of sweeds...or germans...or some shit, they live in america too right?
The Oil companies will just raise prices again with some shit excuse like "well, it cost us money to drill. So we have to. Sorry" Drilling offshore isn't going to help anyone.
bush also helped create the deficit we're in right now... bush used the tax cuts as a way to try and show the American people that he could be trusted, and then he fucked us over by going to war...you act as if bringing the stock market back up a bit made a huge difference, look at the economy now...
i love how we had a surplus 8 years ago, but as soon as bush comes in, its at 3t deficit...
You know, I'm not sure of the exact number up to date...last i heard, which was around July, it was up to 3t, I'm certain of this because it was on CNN, a few other sites, and word of mouth from my English professor...all i know, is that he horribly fucked up our system...
and the Patriot Act? cone on now..that's just a fucking name for invading personal privacy of the American people.
Watch Zeitgeist...but i warn you, with an open mind, otherwise, you're wasting 2 hours of your time. =]
Mr. Graham, you, being a rich little faggot who has obviously never worked a day in his life, have nothing to whine about. Because everything you have has been passed down to you from your elite family and connections. People "whine" in this country to politicians because they are suppose to represent the interests of the people who actually work for a living. If you don't like it, get the fuck out of politics.
And McCain, if this is the kind of company you keep and expect our votes, eat shit!
bankrupt they knew this was coming giving people who shouldn't have loans driving up demand increasing home prices then they can't afford them smart move gramm while they bailout bearsterns and soon others they say that average joe to go fuckthemselves and be happy that your losing everything bc who's going to buy up all this low value property oh yes gramm and associates its called wealth transfer stealing every dollar from the poor to go to the wealthy stop whinning go to work for nothing
well all the people he knows are doing better like the ceos that get bonuses regardless of how their companies are doing and that bosses are making so much more than the average worker so ggive them a big tax cut while average people lose their homes can't afford to fill up their car and eat while the new jobs of today pay half as much as they did before thats whinning well thats easy when you live in a huge house have a maid and have lots of money there was a reason why they made it harder togo
Easy for him to say, with all the money he has, and all the legislation he pushed through to help out his rich buddies while screwing over the poor and middle class in the U.S. over the years. Can you say "Enron loophole"? What a pathetic excuse for a human being this guy is!
All politicians regardless of party are completely out of touch. Most of us have been struggling for years, but now that its touching upper America panic sets in. Things like homeownership, affordable health care, job security were NEVER attainable for the average person in my generation anyway!(I'm 40). I am a veteran, have a B.S. degree (means nothing anymore) and don't expect to retire before I'm dead. Phil Gramm has never struggled or lost a job or house. Bye-gotta go work one of my 3 jobs..

That's why Phil Gramm and John Sydney McCain would have made a great economic team in the White House. this guy gets it. Gramm is a BRILLIANT Washington insider and knows how to handle the economy better than just about anybody. Oh well.

Does it take years and years of hard work and endless practice to become as STUPID as you? The stripping away of depression era laws to protect the bankers from themselves and the blocking of regulation by the CFTC (Brooksly Born) and all 50 states attorney generals (by OCC) led directly to this mess.

But he's on the same side as Obama, Boosh, Juan McCain, and all the fake Democrats and fake Republicans. Wake up people. Their all on the same side.

Still true today. The ground gives us everything we need to live. The recession is due to people wanting things that they couldn't afford and buying them anyway. Now that our global slave pool has become wealthier, the cost of our goods is beginning to approximate what it would cost if we actually produced things ourselves.
We need to make a decision. Do we want to be imperialist, and keep costs low, or do we want to spread freedom and pay true costs? Not a loaded question, just a choice.
