I propose we just stop calling it a recession or a depression...

[originalpckelly]

and that we just call it a Bush.

Bush:
1. 43rd President of the United States.
2. Steep economic decline as a result of the 43rd President being in office for the past 8 years.

Example:
"Grandma, do you remember the Bush of '08? We're studying it in school, and I have to do a report on it tomorrow."

[originalpckelly]

1. Or perhaps, as the Bushes seem to leave behind economic problems...

Bush:
1. 41st and 43rd Presidents of the United States.
2. Economic downturn as a result of either one's time in office.

8. More like a Brazillian wax

6. Call it the "Dubya Depression" (nt)

[bobd0]

7. I like it. And it fits well historically with "The Bush of '92" nt

9. But 'Bush' could refer to anything

from starting illegal wars to crashing Segways.
