    Trickle down used to be called horse and sparrow. The idea was that if a horse ate a whole lot of oats, some wouldn’t get digested and the sparrow could eat them. I wonder why they don’t use that metaphor today 🤔

      Because it’s stupid easy to debunk with one question:

      If you want to feed the sparrows, why don’t you give them oats directly instead of making them pick through horseshit?

    There’s no need in trying to revive Reaganomics, it never went away. Every president since him has practiced trickle down economics

        Who has refused to strike down Trumps tax cuts for the rich? Who, when asked, if he would strike down Trump’s tax cuts for the rich responded. with an astounding, ‘NO?’

        Every single Democrat along with every Republican since Reagan has practiced trickle down economics. For all intents Biden is Reagan’s 11th term
