Why is Universiy banishing words? Aren't Universities supposed to be the place that promotes openmindedness and encourag thoughtful reasearch? Banning words seems against everything a Uni should stand for. Rings similar to book burning to me.
When used in reference to our fiscal problems "kick the can down the road" has been replaced by "push the Buick down the road".
job creators/creation - these have been moved to the "Enemies Of The State" list.
No, the problem is that people use the term as if "job creators" are these mythical beings we must appease so that they bestow upon us the blessed "jobs." As a person in charge of hiring and firing, I can assure you that the real job creators are my customers.
It's good that everyone else understands what "Job Creator" means.

It doesn't matter how much money I have in my wallet. The current recession is a demand-side recession. You could hand me a check for a billion dollars, if I don't think I can sell any more widgets I have no reason to hire more widget makers. To sell more widgets, I need my customers to have more money and more desire for widgets.
I need the middle class to expand so that I have people to sell my services to. My paying an extra 3.5% top marginal tax rate is going to have no effect on that whatsoever.
