How long have we been waiting for this elusive tr tr tric, sorry for the PTSD moment, trickle d down wonder cure? Was it really a Reaganomics catchphrase? Damnable folks, wasn't that the 80s? Did it happen without or are we still waiting?
In the Reagantatership I was working at a community action agency. We spent a lot of meeting time trying to stretch our Reagan budget which had been reduced to zero dollars. Somehow, we survived while all around town businesses had new window decorations that read: CLOSING DUE TO REAGANOMICS. So when does this trickle stuff start?
OMG.... do we remember Clinton's definition of is? Exactly. Sort of. What is this trickle down? Definition please. We don't have one, that is the reason that for thirty plus years we have been relegated to playing Don Quixote on our jackass, tilting at windmills.
Now let's look at this trickle with a Vulcan's logic. A trickle ain't much, oops, that was more Scotty. Back to our pointy ear vision. A trickle of blood is not enough to transfuse a Tribble let alone an anemic economy. So, the answer is we got it and it is still coming. And it doesn't work. That is the argument we need to shout from the deck of the Enterprise.
