United States government official
I am sick and tired of trickle-down economics. It has never worked.

We're building an economy from the bottom up and middle out.

1. Joe knows

[okaawhatever]

27. In all fairness George H.W.Bush referred to trucke down as Voodoo economics. nt

[Hieronymus Phact]

35. only once

when he was running against Reagan, after that he saw how rich it was making him and never mentioned it again.

[Picaro]

2. Truth

[Trailrider1951]

3. Will Rogers knew, too in 1932

[renate]

21. Wow... I can't believe I never heard that before

So true.

[calimary]

30. Oooooooooooh! GREAT quote!

[JohnnyRingo]

4. Say it louder Joe.

I think everyone knows this is true, even the most die hard Reagan supporters. Any blue collar worker should be glad to hear this, so shout it out above the distracting blaring noise of right wing media.

[paparush]

5. "middle out"

I wonder if someone on his staff watched Silicon Valley?

[Farmer-Rick]

6. Also when you measure fabric

You measure from the middle out if you want it to come out equal and even on all sides.

31. It a machinist thing

Working off center lines is an easier, quicker way to make a better part. Saves time truing/cleaning up the outer edges, allows the engineer to work from the primary data points.

[Farmer-Rick]

34. So, why haven't we learned that in economics?

Working from the center seems to have much better results.

Very interesting about the machinist thing.

[Mopar151]

37. Accountants dislike accuracy!

They seem to be trained to have great faith in their "trends" and "estimates", without concern about the basis for their extrapolation.

A lot of so-called engineers REALLY don't get the working from centerline thing. The same ones get a very confused look when you ask about Datums*, ordinate dimensioning, or tolerance stackup, go positively apoplectic when confronted with ANSI y14.5!

[wildman76]

7. Joe you are best president

[patphil]

8. The problem has always been the substance that was trickling down.

[uponit7771]

18. +1,

[IronLionZion]

9. The US is a consumer economy

people at the bottom spend more of their money because they have to survive and pay bills. Trickle up

[TygrBright]

10. THIS is the Democrats' "Midterms Messaging" right here. In a nutshell. WTG, Joe! n/t

[housecat]

17. This and choice.

[Yoyoyo77]

11. Go Dark Brandon!!!!

[KS Toronado]

12. Biden is baiting Rs to argue about trickle-down economics

Smooth move Joe! Wonder which reQublicOn will grab the bait so Biden can make them look stupid?
Be nice to see all of MSM talking about how "trickle-down economics" doesn't work.

[Victor_c3]

13. How do we know if this was a real presidential tweet?

Was it tweeted at 2:00 in the morning from the toilet?

[The Polack MSgt]

16. +++

Right?

He's not following the precedents established by the previous "president". Thankfully

[GopherGal]

26. I think we must conclude it's not...

from a first perusal, the words all appear to be spelled correctly.

Not a covfefe among 'em.

Far too coherent.

14. Trickle Down Economics

is also known as the Horse and Sparrow theory of economics. That is, if you feed lots of grain to the horses, some will pass through for the sparrows to pick over on the side of the road.

15. Hence the expression, "It's for the birds."

[littlemissmartypants]

22. Certainly explains the notion that the masses are sh!t on. nt

[SWBTATTReg]

19. Oh but Moscow Mitch will think otherwise, he'll think we gotten too much money and don't know

how to handle it, spend it.

Selfish little pr**k.

It is time that the vast majority of Americans enjoy the fruits of our labor, all of the hard work, and thus each and every one of us contributes to this Economy in some way, some fashion, thus keeping our Economic Engine going in this Country. What I think would work better too, is to NOT let republicans have a say in anything Economic-wise, since they are so biased, so slanted in their support for the top 1% in this Country and reducing their taxes while at the same time increasing taxes on the rest of us.

[Joinfortmill]

20. Trickle down is right. Drip. Drip.

[BlueJac]

23. Spoken publicly, plain and simple!

You Go Joe!

[pansypoo53219]

24. GHWB was right. tinkle down is voodoo ekonomikkks.or doodoo. it sounded like bullshit when i heard

years ago sourth park had an episode w/ underpants gnomes. it sounds similar.

[Heather MC]

25. Trickle down economics is just the wealthy pissing on the rest of us

And calling it rain

32. Dear Republicans: We Tried Your Way and It Does Not Work (a thread):

https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1543463394996408321

17/ Republicans told us if we just cut the top tax rate on the morbidly rich from the 74% it was at in 1980 down to 27% it would “trickle down” benefits to everybody else as, they said, the “job creators” would be unleashed on our economy.

18/ Instead of a more general prosperity, we’ve now ended up with the greatest wealth and income inequality in the world, as over $50 trillion was transferred over 40 years from the bottom 90% to the top 1%, where it remains to this day.

19/ The middle class has gone from over 60% of us to fewer than half of us. It now takes 2 full-time wage earners to sustain the same lifestyle one could in 1980.

33. Evaporation is steadier and more even than trickling.

This is as true for money as it is for water.

36. A welcome change
