You're just whining. Isn't the government supposed to help the Economy?
Yes, in theory. But in practice, all 3 branches of our government, since 1980, only helps those who are well connected. The other 99% of us can go to hell as far as those creeps are concerned. McCain and Gramm are two of the most clueless and crooked jerks we could ever let into the public space.

It all comes down to one's viewpoint on what an economy is how it should function. There seem to be two conflicting ideas:
1. economies exist to serve people
- and -
2. people exist to serve economies
One's take on this most basic aspect will determine one's stand on nearly ALL issues concerning government/economics.
Well hand me my hundgun and religion! Have we forgotten the words ... It is self-evident all Men are created equal ... whenever an form of government becomes destructive ... it is the right of the people to abolish it.
Are you talking about Democrats who live in inner city communities? Welfare recipients (democrats)?
When will you learn to let it go or are you a masochist. Go to the your polling thread and get your due or go to the Obama corruption thread and watch your intellectual companions complain about Michelles salary.
In an interview with the Washington Times yesterday, Sen. John McCain’s “econ brain,” former senator Phil Gramm, complained that America has become a “nation of whiners” over the economy because he believes “the economy is not as bad as you read in the newspaper every day.” “This is a mental recession,” said Gramm.
unfortunately, i think that the answer to this depends on one's political perusasion. if you are a conservative, you're bound to think that phil gramm is right. if you're liberal to moderate, you're bound to disagree with gramm. but i do think that is a recession worse than any that i have seen in my lifetime due to the high price increases that i've seen in daily expenses (food, gasoline, etc) and the fact that more jobs have gone overseas than before (less job opportunities than in previous times) and stagnation of wages.

Well, you were talking about whiny people who aren't successful on their own. Sounds like an inner city Democrat to me. Dont know too many Republicans living in the inner city (Atlantas metro is 91% Democrat and is extremely poor).
I am just trying to understand who you are talking about, because the majority of "whiny poor people" are Democrats.
