Is it time to start using the term Enronomics again?

It may be a bit too early but before long we will need to start reminding folks that this Administration is using Enronomics and people are getting shafted. With Skilling being indicted a reminder is out there but the possibility of Kenny Boy getting indicted is still there and that would be the time for the term to become mainstream again. Keep the connection between a corrupt business and a corrupt Administration.

1. I never stopped...

Enronomics seems like an excellent way to describe crap like the "now you see it, now you don't" 2.6 million jobs predicted.

2. I am encouraged about this.

It must be realized that Neron was organized as a criminal enterprise. To prosecute is a painstaking task. A poor case could let the thieves go free. I feel good about this,I think it will bring justice. The money is gone,if it ever was. Prison time may be a good lesson.
We can take some blame to have let such a monster exist.

3. I've never stopped using it.

I don't think a week has gone by since December of 2001 where I didn't use "Enronomics" to describe Bush's economic policies to somebody somewhere.

After all, it's the Enronomy, stupid!

4. I never stopped either

huge bonuses to those on top; steal the retirement fund; pay no taxes; keep everything secret; use offshore accounts to hide everything. Yep, I'd say that just about perfectly describes the mal-administration.

5. Yup

:evilgrin:

Pretty much how I put things back on December 14, 2001.

BTW, that is the first instance of the term "Enronomics" being used.
