Reagan coined the term trickle down economics, ...but in reality it should have been called "shit upon economics"

I guess with these bailouts they are hopping for a trickle down effect - more people will keep their jobs, etc.

i was thinking in terms of giving money will free up credit etc...which will allow more ppl to afford things etc...

so you are against the constant bailouts and spending then? b/c as far as i can see its just trickle down economics.

exactly... one big reason I wasn't thrilled about the bailouts.  Trickle down doesn't work.

bailouts = throwing cash at problems and hoping somehow it fixes the problem which they (Bush/Obama and everyone else) probably  don't even fully  understand.   

trickle down economics is basically lowering corporate tax rates and (unspoken) allowing huge loopholes and pretending that somehow this will increase tax revenue

No trickle down economics is freeing up money at the top and hopefully it will trickle down to lower levels...there are many ways to do this your picking a strawman arguement those acts arent the only way to inact trickle down economics...

bailouts are giving money to the companies which are controlled by the company heads, which is basically like giving them a big tax break to a company isnt it? LOL so bailouts are basically the same as trickle down economics isnt it?

no

they both suck but bailouts are worse, at least in the way that they are being implemented

you can't privatize profits and socialize losses

well, you can but the results suck

best statment ive heard in a while...

My point is that the way that the bailouts are being implemented is nothing more then trickle down economics and as most liberals will tell you they feel those dont work so why are they in favor of them or think they are necessary?

Great question.  I think one of the differences is "trickle down" isn't throwing money at failing businesses.

It's called buying time.
Soon there will be a - HUGE - paradigm shift.

Obama supporters have shown to be complete hypocrates.

This subject is a good example, gay marriage is a good example, his ties to convicted felons are good examples....yet...not ONE bad word....

I'm sure that if Obama will tell you all to go on a train to a nice new city where you have to be slaves and then gassed in chambers you all will jump on it and say that we are fools since we don't do the same

Is this sarcasm - or do we see both some-thing that we agree upon

Socialism for the Rich, Capitalism for the Poor.  This is in fact what the bailouts are and what "Trickle-Down" Economics are.


So you are effectively admitting that Reagan was a strong believer in this approach (Socialism for the rich, Capitalism for the Poor), regardless of an economic crisis.

One MAJOR difference is that Reagan`s "Trickle-Down" economics had to do with tax brackets providing the rich few with the greatest benefit.  The bailouts are not the same animal whatsoever as the money is collected tax revenue from all brackets.

[The True Adonis]

Also note that our self-identifiedSOCIALIST SENATOR, Bernie Sanders, VOTED TO BLOCK THE BAILOUTS AND TARP.


This surely was not a Socialist plan whatsoever as it caters to the rich.

Also Note that our OTHER leading Socialist leaning member in Congress, Dennis Kucinich, VOTED AGAINST THE TARP AND ALL BAILOUTS.
