bad times

A catch-all expression used when conversation turns to the sputtering economy and it's many painful symptoms.

Serves to end a negative topic of discussion while posing that said difficulties are unavoidable but subject to possible improvement when a reshapen economy emerges.

"Dude, did you know Mohammed had to trade in his lexus for a 5-year-old fiat so he can cover his mortgage payments while he retrains?"

"Bad times, man. bad times. I'm hungry."
