Drain on the Economy

Someone who draws a living off people without offering service or making a product. A bum.

After college, I spent 8 months on my parents' couch wondering if I was a drain on the economy

economic slavery

Economic Slavery is the use of one or more of the three pillars (Welfare, Public Housing, and Eugenics) to prevent any group of people from realizing the American dream of self-sufficiency.

Requiring that mothers be unmarried to receive welfare is one of the three pillars of Economic Slavery.
That most abortion clinics are located next to areas with high welfare populations to limit their population growth is one of the three pillars of Economic Slavery.

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!
