Supply Side Econotard

1. Someone who idiotically thinks that cutting taxes will increase revenue. Ergo, responsible for our 9 trillion dollar national debt.

2. Believes in slashing programs for the poor to give tax cuts to the wealthy.

Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush are examples of the prototypical Supply Side Econotard.

ecotard

Someone so enamored with ecology that they cannot understand common sense or reality.

Example; Ecotards = idiots that burn down wood-frame buildings under construction to protest environmental policies. This irresponsible and short sighted act, not to mention being highly illegal, puts innocent lives at risk, wastes forest products that it would appear that they would want to protect, causes air and ground water pollution, causes increased insurance costs to the entire building industry and related increased building costs to society as a whole. These are some of the issues that an Ecotard does not comprehend in their single-minded and ill-conceived quest to "protect" the environment.

Econotainment

Econo-tainment. Its about entertaining in post-recession America. Any form of less-expensive entertaining that you do as a result of the recession. So you don't throw a dinner party: you throw a pot-luck! Or you invite people over to play scrabble and drink a couple of bottles of good wine. OR you rent a video instead of going out to the movies. Or you eat out at a less-expensive restaurant, or you have friday-after-work drinks at someone's home rather than hitting a bar....um that is if you still have a job.

For tonight's Econotainment I've made nachos. You bring the beer, and we'll all play pictionary! Yeah!

Darling, Econotainment is so simple: we skip the caviar and serve everyone chicken instead of that wild-caught Salmon.

economitard

1) one who subscribes to foolish economic principles such as trickle-down and voodoo economics, pyramids, ponzi schemes, fuzzy math, and similar financial snake-oils.

The economitards fail to see that great wealth for one means great poverty for many.
