    Fun fact: “trickle-down” or “supply-side” economics used to be called “horse and sparrow” theory, because the poors got to eat the leftovers from the horseshit.

    I think it’s a more appropriate name, even though it sounds cuter.

      George HW Bush called it “voodoo economics” in the grand tradition of GOP presidential candidates being completely against something during the primaries and then completely for it during the general.
