The big fat fact on of Trickle Down Economics:
Reagan’s 8 years of it TRIPLED the national debt.
W. Bush’s 8 years of it DOUBLED the national debt (before TARP).
Clinton’s 8 years of not doing it reduced both the deficit and the debt.
It is Bush’s TARP and Obama’s STIMULUS that puts us in the hole now, both of which were ABSOLUTEY NECESSARY to avoid a world wide DEPRESSION.
