I’ve been saying for several years the same thing Gramm said. Granted, the economy was far better two years ago than it is now, but even now, it is far better than it has during all of the 1970s and even much of the 1980s and 1990s. At the beginning of this year, in a blog entry, I even matched Gramm’s tone: He called Americans “whiners,” while I called them “spoiled.” I still say I was right.Â
