The Set Up For A Classic Battle On Capitol Hill.....

Middle Class Economics vs Trickle Down Economics

There's more of us than them. I'm glad President Obama coined that term last night 'middle class economics'. It's about time that we fight back using the same tactics they have done for so long.

Middle class economics should be something that most American People should easily understand. They had the wool pulled over their eyes with 'trickle down economics'. It sounded good - but it was a hard concept to accept and understand - yet with the Repugs pushing that meme and the MSM supporting it - they got away with it for a long time.

I'm thinking that with 'middle class economics' - it is easier for the American People to wrap their minds around it and understand what it means.

Now the President and all the Dems must hammer home that term and get the American People to rally around and see how meaningful it is in comparison to 'trickle down'.

that we need a term, and this is a good one. But the President needs to detail what he means by "middle class economics"...
