Trickle down economics has been proven since the '80s to only benefit the already rich but for some reason non-rich republicans still believe it'll work!
Trickle down economics started under reagan and continued into the first bush administration which directly led to a recession, same thing happened when bush jr brought it back and currently there are no economic benefits that we are seeing from the already rich receiving disproportionate amounts of tax relief.
trump said he was going to bring down prices on day one, turns out though because of his tariff policies inflation is now higher, unemployment claims are on the rise and there are less manufacturing jobs now than when he first came back in.
Currently trump and the people in his administration are telling people to wait and things are going to get better on day but what can they possibly show from the past that indicates trickle down economics has ever done anything but sent us into a recession?
