Get the Fuck the police mug.*noun*, efforts by the government to intentionally run a deficit in order to stimulate the economy during a recession. Loosely associated with Keynesian economics.
According to basic economic theory, recessions occur because there is a basic mismatch between aggregate demand and potential output. One approach for solving this is for the government to buy more goods and services than it has revenues to cover, thereby creating conditions in which effective demand is greater than the stock of goods currently in business inventory (given recessionary prices).
Under a stimulus, the jolt of extra money in circulation creates inflation, which has the effect of lowering real prices. Customers then respond to the {de facto} price reduction by buying more, which leads to more hiring, thence to more effective demand, thence to economic recovery.
Another reason fiscal policy stimulates the economy is that the private sector is not investing or consuming its own output. Increased taxes would simply reduce private consumption, so those cannot be increased; but spending is increased to fill the breach.

I think it is possible that fiscal policy will have even more 'oomph' in this situation," Christina Romer, who heads the Council of Economic Advisers, told an economics conference.
"When households and businesses are liquidity-constrained by reduced lending, any money put in their pockets is more likely to be spent," she said.

Get the thot police mug.The people in fandoms who will send everyone to harass you if you DARE do something they dislike. Ex; Being 20 and calling a 17-year-old anime character your waifu, Drawing ship art of a 18 year old and a 17 year old, drawing a character with slightly lighter skin then they actually have, drawing straight porn of a gay character, and many more.
Usually the punishment is way more severe than the crime. Like doxxing and harrassment to the point of depression. They see themselves as the heros but really they're the villains.

Get the Grammar Police mug.An incredibly hilarious, and SATIRICAL film created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. It parodies modern America's overzealous actions in foreign countries, and their governments incredibly imperialist, and destructive nature. If you haven't seen this movie you are an asshole, and you must see this movie right now! Stop reading and watch this movie! America, FUCK YEAH!
Team America:World Police is a fucking awesome movie, but if you don't appreciate for its satirical value, than you're a prick. This movie isn't just about swearing, sex, and pointless violence, it's about swearing, sex, and pointless violence with a message! Remember, Freedom isn't Free. It costs a buck 'o' five!
