This will never stop being funny
How about we try some trickle up economics for a while? That’s where you give money to people who actually need it, and let businesses compete for them as customers, and the revenue will trickle up to successful companies.
Might as well, right?
We did. Brought to you by Roosevelt.

Water is wet etc etc
And they used that money as a cudgel to make political bribery perfectly legal in Citizens United, as if it wasn’t already rampant. They own this fucking place above board now.
We get a vote on how to, or if we even should address the social issue symptoms of our oligarch class rigging the economic game, ie who to blame or what to spend on the ever dwindling crumbs left for the Commons.
We don’t get a vote on the economy itself, that’s above our paygrade. From Pelosi to McConnell, “herp derp the free market we’re bribed to rig for capital is working just fine… For our portfolios! 🤣”
#1 reason the country is a shit hole.
Saw this earlier today, just saying.
But my Maga coworker just told me she wants to make everything more expensive! Now I don’t know who to believe; you both sound equally sensible. /s
Of course it didn’t work, but only because we didn’t give it 150 more years! I promise guys, really, just 180 more years and it will slightly trickle down! It’s been scientifamicbly proven that in just 230 more years it will absolutely start to work!
-Study paid for by the fuck you I got mine, but I want yours too foundation.
When they originally said ‘trickle down’ they meant piss.
They spent those 50 years convincing half the voting population that evidence doesn’t matter, unfortunately.
Good old degradation of public school standards.
Combined with 24 hour propaganda on “news” nwtworks
Economics: explaining tomorrow why the predictions of yesterday didn’t come true today
Yeah, no shit…
Every couple years, another study that shows the same thing. The rich got richer and the middle class and poor lost.
Yea, it did the exact fuckin opposite. Like we knew it would.
hear, hear OP. I can attest that dipshit started us on the path to the worst timeline.
Reagan pushed Horse and sparrow economics. If you give the horses enough grain, eventually the sparrows will get to eat a little out of their shit.
The horses are constipated, Paw
Yeah, but even “eventually” didn’t come.
Well duh, bank accounts aren’t horses, you can always just add another 0 without overflow
