A clever way of calling someone, including yourself, "lazy".
1: Damn, man, you're so lazy!
2: I'm not lazy, I'm just economical of effort.
A phenomenon in economics in which too much loose cash finds its way into an area of the market, e.g., stocks, housing, dot-com, etc., resulting in a buying frenzy that leads to wildly inflated prices. Economic activity in those areas affected is not sustainable in the long run, so large numbers of late investors eventually go bankrupt.
We were warned of an economic bubble, but bought high-priced shares anyway thinking we could unload them on some poor sap before the bubble burst. Boy, were we wrong!

Civilian men and women after being layed off from their job broaden there horizon in the hunt for new work and settle with the U.S military. They do this because of the lack of job security,Benefits,Growth and oppurtunity in their community's due to the economic strain. Even if there is no military "draft" in place it is perceived this way due to the high number of people signing up for enlisted employment which will include steady pay,benefits and room to grow.
John " Damn, If they reinstated the draft I would move to canada"
Willy-"Well technically were in an economic draft, People are signing up because they lost there jobs to do the economy.
John-"Im glad I still have my job"

a coded phrase used to exonerate racist whites for their support of political candidates, legislation, and other policy that would reinforce racial hierarchies in the U.S. that are the legacies of colonialism and slavery.
These Trump supporters are not racist, they just have a lot of economic anxiety.

A phrase commonly used during a recession to sophisticate a person's excuse for not paying for anything he should.
"In this economic climate, I'm afraid I simply cannot afford to realize the dividends in my portfolio."
"Sorry, I can't pay muh rent because of this economic climate."
"Gotta quarter? I'm homeless thanks to the gub'ment and this economic climate."
When the monetary authorities put a seemingly unlimited amount of money into the financial system in order to stimulate the economy; as if they were flying around in helicopters and dropping money from the sky. This usually results in substantial inflation and sometimes hyperinflation.
The Federal Reserve's excessive easy money policy is helicopter economics at its worst.
The methods used by government or those in power to make those pesky poorer people get up and move from the geographic place they live. It could be higher property assessments, highways through poor neighborhoods, higher costs for food, shelter, and even water. If poor people can't live in a certain area then economic cleansing has occurred. It is often subtle and no one ever admits to doing it. It is the final market solution to poverty in any growth oriented prosperous community.market forces ethnic cleansing gentrification progress
The city of Leander engaged in economic cleansing when it raised city water rates so high that poor residents couldn't afford the water bill. The Health Dept. said they can't live in a trailer, where they lived for 30 years, without their city water hookup. They must move. They have been economically cleansed by the city council.
