Three "attacks" on Reaganomics in the last week, all have gone unanswered
Rachel started it last week with her clips of Papa Bush labeling supply side theory "Voodoo Economics". :yourock:

Joan Walsh was on some talking head's show on MSNBC (Tweety's?) a few days ago and pointed out how it was in 1981 when everything changed. The debt began to climb as the tax cuts went into place, look at what happened in 1981.(paraphrased)
:fistbump:

Then last night Stephen Colbert used his "The Word" segment to point out that "trickle down economics" simply means to piss on the lower classes.
:beer:


To my knowledge there has been no response by anyone trying to defend supply side theory. Have I missed something?
:shrug:

One is an anomaly, two is a coincidence and three is a trend.

Here is to hoping this trend continues.

:toast:
