    "The economy" is the ultimate citation. It is a magical oracle that cannot be questioned and can be used to justify any action. No supporting evidence necessary.

      The budget must be balanced. The markets need to be sated. We must heal the economy. Your nan has to be sacrificed.

      Hurting "the economy" is a privilege only the right can have.

      Brexit? Yeah it was bad for the economy...but you see it was WORTH IT because we needed more good vibes! The libs weren't sufficiently owned!

      Housing crisis? Yeah this hurts the economy....but muh property values! Are we really going to pick our kids having an enjoyable 20s over property values? It's worth it! (Although come to think of it, I'm not sure if this is an Americanism or something in general among the west but there seems to be this line of thought that goes 'ehh, the young people will pay for it! So let's do it!')
