Over the years we've heard many different descriptions of the economy...from "trickle down" to "trickle up" to "voodoo" none of which will accurately describe the upcoming "ruler's" economic methods.
I would like to throw out what I see as a fitting phrase. Perhaps the phrase will be accepted by the general public and we can say the phrase was coined on FreeRepublic.
Could we have a drum roll please....and the phrase is....
Shake-down Economics"
Thuggery at its best. I can’t wait for Obama and his cronies to come looking for everything in my house that isn’t nailed down. I am sure they will even search my couch for any spare change.
Your term surely has some valid applications.
Good wordsmithing.
It’s the old Jesse/Al razzle-dazzle in a Brooks Brothers suit. No wonder Jesse was crying at the Obama victory rally.
I like that.
Jesse was crying because he knows he's going to be on the outside looking in for at least the next four years. Jesse and Al are faux forces for blacks and always have been. They have been on the wrong side of the issues so often (e.g., Tawana Brawley, the Duke case, etc.) that they have lost their credibility. Indeed, their entire careers are built on shams. Neither has ever had a church or congregation, neither has completed divinity school, yet both try to wear the mantle of "Rev." as though they earned it. Gees! Al was "ordained" by a DC preacher at age 10!.
Nope, Jesse is going to be an echo as long as Obama's around.
It's not that I don't believe you (because I do!), but I'm gonna need a source for that so I can successfully use that with intolerant Libs!
Thanks so much!
CA....
I also like “street hustlomics” or “conmanomics” but neither is as good as yours!

The passage is found under the section titled: Personal and Reglious Life:
Sharpton was licensed and ordained a Pentecostal minister by Bishop F.D. Washington at the age of nine[19] or ten.[20]
