"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.

I must say that I think the word actually sounds rather nice--it has a nice cadence--but just the thought of it . . .ugh.
