Bayhnseian Economics

Any fiscally conservative or moderate economic policy or theory aimed at satisfying all political parties involved.

Named after American Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) and his archetype, the hallowed economist Alan Keynes, both advocates, to some degree, of lasseiz-faire politics.

The main problem with Bayhnseian Economics is that while attempting to satisfy everybody involved, it also has a record of not satisfying anybody.

economist

An economist, in the most typical sense of the word, is a failed comedian turned professor whose faith in the fun factor of his subject is nil. On paper, economists are renowned for their dry and unnecessarily convoluted writing, which is only worsened when a topic inspires them to try to be funny. In person, economists maintain supercilious attitudes to each other and to the rest of world and deservedly so – few people have the stunning courage necessary to challenge themselves with the gruelingly difficult questions in a college, high school, or graduate school introductory lecture. Economists are, with the exception of cult leaders, quite possibly the only group of people in the world that can be so consistently wrong and so stubbornly steadfast in their commitment to making public predictions. The perpetual failure to be right also contributes to the arrogance of your typical economist because blue collar slobs don’t make multiple billion dollar mistakes regularly and blue collar slobs certainly don’t get promoted for those mistakes. Nowhere in the world is an economist more worshipped than within his own circle of indistinguishable colleague economists and, still further, within his own head.

The surest way to know what won’t happen in the future is to ask an economist what he thinks will happen.

As a general rule of thumb, an economist is as certain as he is unaccountable - that is to say, always and completely.

Econerd

People who by nature of their naivete, drive hybrid autos, enjoy the odor of their flatulence, (Oops, that was originated by South Park) and generally are so delusional as to think they are superior to everyone else. They also are firm believers in AlGore's preachings (disregarding the fact when taken into comparison with other individuals, Mr. Gore contributes more to the alledged environmental problem.)they also fall for the stories of numerous Hollywood types who claim they are environmentally conscious.

I find it real interesting how fakes like DeCaprio appeal to the econerd when they see him driving his Prius, but little do they know he is driving it to his private jet-what a bunch of tools!

Economic Sodomy

A serious financial screwing involving a large sum of money. The victim is usually subjected to infernal bureaucracy and/or irrational and unethical corporate practices.

Those who commit economic sodomy have some of the same traits found in serial rapists and serial killers: Ruthless, self serving, narcissistic, psychopathic, sadistic thinking/ideals/behavior.

This heinous crime is often perpetrated by big corporations, financial institutions, their representatives and affiliates, the legal system and all of its minions (attorneys included), unscrupulous medical practitioners, insurance companies, towing companies, shady repairmen of all trades, various government offices and scores of self proclaimed "experts."

The perp(s) may, at any time, be in collusion with your psycho ex, your baby's mama, your backstabbing kinfolks, or your criminal accomplice. The perps often work together behind the scenes and will cheerfully gang bang you without warning.

Recently, citizens of south Louisiana were economically sodomized by the oil industry.

LaSonya put me on child support and that ain't even my kid! I gotta get a DNA test so I don't get economically sodomized!

Denny's had my car towed for no reason, now I got to pay $1500 to get my car! That's economic sodomy!

The doctor told me I had appendicitis; turns out it was just gas! He was gonna economically sodomize me!

Moneyless economy

An ecomomy that dose not use money. Instead of money it uses a grading system where a person works to reach a higher grading and your grading level determines what you can get in materal goods.
It is a new system but has a large number of surporters who believe that humanity would be better off if they could get rid of money.

What do you think about a moneyless economy?
