"I think we are slowly Enronizing the economy, Enronizing the budget."
– Senate Majority Leader Tom Daschle
The verb, "Enron," has two definitions in contemporary usage: 1. to conceal or disguise financial and accounting facts; 2. to allow or cause retirement funds to be diminished, mishandled or swiped.
This from: http://news1.iwon.com/article/id/325583|politics|01-25-2002::21:10|cbs.html
I must say that I think the word actually sounds rather nice--it has a nice cadence--but just the thought of it . . .ugh.
