Word Storm Results: The American Economy Is "Sabotaged"


Word Storm Results: The American Economy Is "Sabotaged"
As tensions mount about the debt-ceiling debate and consumer spending stalls to its slowest pace in 20 months, we asked for your one-word impression of the status of our economy. The results reveal collective frustration, anger and fear.

... And creativity. Many readers crafted their own words (time for a new Contradictionary?), pointed sharply at corporate America and the Right. Results included:

Bushwhacked
Bushed
GOP'd'On
Republicants
Republicanized
Republicanjacked
Republibombed
Republistonewalling
Corporatacracy
CorporateOwned
Corporatensious
Corporategreedorama

Among our other favorites:

Constipated
Hijacked
Broken
Hopeless
Scary
