It wasn't me --- it was Bush I who denigrated Reagan's good economic plans. I think trickle-down economics is a good idea --- if prosperity trickles down to Americans, it's very good.
I sure would like to know how. If you're talking about Bush I's tax hike you must consider the times: he was faced with a Democrat Congress and a Democrat Senate that was spending money for votes. Reagan had the same problem. We always talk about the deficit in terms of high or low tax rates and never consider how much we are spending. Isn't there something wrong with that?
