Economic first aid Explanation: Either one, financial (16000 google hits) or economic (37000), should work. Question is, what is the difference - if any - between financial and economic?

financial first aid Explanation: It might not sound nice or professional, but simply typing it into Google shows that it is a very common collocation, and therefore a recognised term, if a little 'clumsy', I agree with you. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days1 hr (2013-02-12 09:47:12 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- Thank you, Charles. Yet unfortunately, whether you agree with it personally or not, "financial first aid" is what it is. It is the accepted collocation for this context. Personally, I don't like the word "sponge", but I am powerless to change it to something else. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=%22financial+first+aid%22 |
