You’re probably familiar with Buzzword Bingo. Let’s create a version to accompany news reports, editorials, and political speeches on the financial-market and other bailouts. Keep a card with you as you read the newspaper, watch or listen to broadcast news, visit with Barney Frank, or follow the conversation at your next hoity-toity dinner party. Check off each term as you hear or read it and shout “Bingo!” when you have five in a row, vertically, horizontally, or diagonally. Here’s a sample card. Please add suggestions for additional words and phrases in the comments.
| Protecting jobs | Ripple effect | Necessary intervention | Can’t afford to do nothing | Life blood of the economy |
| Corporate greed | Market failure | Temporary relief | Decisive action | Frozen markets |
| Nonpartisan solution | Maintain competitiveness | F R E E S P A C E | Sit idly by | Domino effect |
| No fault of their own | Stability | Public investment | Congressional authority |
