Granny economics

When you pay with cash to the penny. For example, have you ever been in line at a grocery store and the customer is a white haired granny looking lady. When they pay their bill they pay with cash and to the penny.
Granny economics is the best way to stay out of debit. Somebody who uses cash only. A person who knows how to take care of the money.

Trickle Down Economics

Trickle Down Economics is a blatant strawman of supply-side economics used to demonize supporters of said system.
Those using the term assert that Republicans intend to cut taxes on the rich people, which will then, by some undefined mechanism, cause money to trickle down to the poor.
However, not one economist has ever published a theory on the mechanism behind this so called Trickle Down Theory.
This strawman mainly serves to demonize the Republicans for cutting taxes on the rich. The actual position of the Republicans, supply side economics, asserts a well known phenomenon, wherein cutting taxes on rich people will cause them to invest more money, thus opening new markets or expanding existing ones, creating jobs and generating wealth.
The origins of the term lie in a speech by Franklin Delano Roosevelt, wherein it is asserted that there are two economic theories, one according to which "If we make the rich people richer, somehow they will let a part trickle down to the rest of us.
The second theory ... is that if we make the average of mankind comfortable and secure, their prosperity will rise upwards, just as yeast rises up, through the ranks."
Roosevelt, a democrat ironically enough, mocked this idea himself, however, it has somehow become a staple in politics to claim that this nonexistant theory is somehow the economic position of the Republicans.
Trickle down economics has not worked even once.
By cutting the taxes for the rich, the money they save, so they claim, will some how trickle down to the poor.

Cave Man Economics

When you would do anything, including taking a club to every person you know, to see top line revenue grow, even if it means eroding profitability and making no money.
Investors: Evan, what's with your financials lately? Revenue is exploding, but you're hemorrhaging cash faster than ever. Do you ever plan to turn a profit? Are you still reading that book on cave man economics?

echonomics

A false interpretation of economics, as Keynesianism, which is repeated verbally over and over, until the sheeple believe that it is a science.
An example of echonomics is when the Keynesian Kenyan and Ben Shalom Blurbnanke repeatedly telling us that stimulation will make us all rich again, but the Keynesian policies are only providing quantitative sleazing of our economy into ruin, and making us the biggest debtor nation on the planet.
