Lots of modern decades have been named, as in: The Roaring '20s, The Fabulous '50s, The '60s, The '80s ME decade, The Dotcom '90s...

 Time Magazine is calling the almost-past one: The Decade from Hell.

The Panel on The Chris Matthews Show tried:

The Decade of Spending   (Norah O'Donnell)

The Global Shock Decade   (Howard Fineman)

The Reality Check Decade, Decade of Disequilibrium (Kathleen Parker; she chose two)

The Downcast Decade  (John Heilemann)

I KNOW WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THESE JOKERS!

 Pile on; you can post more than one entry (just like KATHLEEN PARKER!).

 I'm going with:  The Suck-It Taxpayers! Decade

*You get to choose fictitious prizes, too, like:

 WINNER GETS A DATE WITH MITCH McCONNELL  (either gender)

Okay, Okay, ya crybabies.  If you can't like a date with Mitch, then you can choose a date with Janet Napolitano.

Second Prize:  ONE DATE with each of them.  (or both together)

Third Prize:  TWO DATES with each of them.  (or both together)

*Dates include Dinner for two at the Capitol Cafeteria, not to exceed $28 with tip.
