Phil Gramm defends capitalism, legacy

Phil Gramm, the former Texas senator, has been on a bit of a legacy-building tour lately.
Recall that last summer, as a top adviser to GOP presidential nominee Sen. John McCain, he called Americans a "nation of whiners" whose anxieties had created a "mental recession."

Gramm was also an architect of financial deregulation that some critics have blamed for the banking crisis turned market meltdown turned actual, real-life, undeniable recession.

"I'm not saying here we haven't had a terrible financial crisis," Gramm said Friday at a forum hosted by the American Enterprise Institute, at which he continued to defend deregulation and the capitalist system generally.

"I was asked the other day... `What do we do, now that capitalism has failed?' Well, I haven't reached that conclusion. And I would be a little bit concerned about letting capitalism go, because it made me prosperous and free and it made my country prosperous and free, and I'm high on those two things. Very high."

Creep.
