bush economy
An economic situation where most normal people living in the US can not afford general or typical goods and services any longer. Named for President George Bush's economic policies favoring the Reagan style of 'trickle down' economics where the wealthy are entrusted to send wealth to the lower classes. IT never works out that way.
I lost my job in customer service to an Indian. Its ok, I can't afford gas in the bush economy anyway to get to work.
