An Ontario quick lube and oil chain that has been known to scam unsuspecting drivers. It may offer a 10-minute oil change for $20, but upsell you with stuff you don't need. CBC program Marketplace nailed those skeezebags putting in oil and other fluids that could wreck your car, or not doing the job you paid them to do. Beware.
Want to wreck your new car? Take it to Economy Lube.
My brother is so dumb that he drove his truck to Economy Lube for an oil change. The grease monkeys who obviously got kicked out of a sketchy trade school put in the wrong fluids - and, now, my brother has to pay $4,000 for a new engine. Moron!

A near static state in the economy, where a so-called "recovery" consists of increasing numbers of people on food stamps, continued high unemployment, more poverty families, jobless millennials, and increasing of all welfare benefits. The very rich grow richer (especially if they are liberal bureaucrats, Wall Street, heads of solar companies, or Hollywood), the poor grow poorer, and the middle class shrinks. The economic problems were then all blamed on Republicans, though they were a minority and actually held little to no power during most of this time. This lasted from 2009 through Obama's two terms.

My work hours got reduced and health insurance premiums went up thanks to Obamacare, so I have less money to spend on everything else. This is the Obama Economy.

An all-purpose excuse that people use during a recession to justify doing things that are below their usual standard. Often these things in reality have little or nothing to do with the economic circumstances.
Harry: "You took your girlfriend to Applebee's on Valentine's Day? Pretty weak."
Larry: "Whatever man, I didn't have a choice. Bad economy."
Senator: "Mr. Paulson, you really want to give the greedy, soulless bankers who caused this mess $700 billion with no strings attached?"
Henry Paulson: "Hey guys, bad economy. Just do it."
Senator: "Good point. I vote yes."

Brendan: "Dude, it's a bad economy. I'll take what I can get."

Common beginning or ending to a sentence. It can serve to:
1. provide an excuse for going on a spending splurge and buying things at their lowest prices ever.
2. suggest a sarcastic tone of frustration with work (cut in hours, cut in pay, cut in benefits, downsizing, laid off).
3. add to the delusional lie that the economy is getting better because of being fixated on greed and material possessions.
4. express serious concern for not having enough to live on.
For those still in denial that THE ECONOMY HAS ALREADY CRASHED AND IS JUST BEING PUMPED FULL OF MONEY TO KEEP IT AFLOAT, see: when the economy picks up
