Economic Maguire

When the person in charge of the country's economy does not have a clue of what they're doing and is unintentionally sabotaging the economy from within

I can't believe that he still thinks he's saving the country's economy by introducing that new ridiculous bill. What he's actually doing is going full economic Maguire to the country instead.

Economic Teabag

Sticking it to a liberal organization by buying a competitor's product.

I hope GM is enjoying my economic teabag, because I only buy Lexus products.

economical of effort

A clever way of calling someone, including yourself, "lazy".

1: Damn, man, you're so lazy!
2: I'm not lazy, I'm just economical of effort.

economic bubble

A phenomenon in economics in which too much loose cash finds its way into an area of the market, e.g., stocks, housing, dot-com, etc., resulting in a buying frenzy that leads to wildly inflated prices. Economic activity in those areas affected is not sustainable in the long run, so large numbers of late investors eventually go bankrupt.

We were warned of an economic bubble, but bought high-priced shares anyway thinking we could unload them on some poor sap before the bubble burst. Boy, were we wrong!

Enronomics

The study of the accounting practices and legislative influences of Enron and the direct effect it had on our financial institution.

(i.e. mark to market accounting, & the deregulation of energy)

Me to SitiBanc: Well I have on my mark to market accounts a profit of a million dollars, so I would like to apply for a loan, I need - oh, gosh, okay, 1.5 million will work for right now.

SitiBanc: Okay so mark to market - I haven't heard that accounting terms since Key Lay came in asking for 1 billion dollars...

Me to SitiBanc: Yes, I am familiar with Enronomics.

fake economic savior

A term used to describe the Shyster in Chief as he postures himself to appear as though he’s savin’ the asses of those who’ve waited desperately for some sign of economic relief.

I understand that right now he wants our vote more than he wants us poor fuckers to die, but I will still consider voting for this fake economic savior ‘cause he’s buying my groceries!
