I doubt that these moldering blasfomys exhumed by TWISTED LINGUISTICS have anything to do with the economy -- but they could. I'll give 'em a shot, but see what you can do with them as well; i.e., put 'em on the rack, get 'em hot, and make 'em sweat.

chauvanistic - Describes some of the politicians who got us into this worsstest mess.
