Your professor was as conservative as the most extreme socialist?

Trickle down economics is bullshite, I studied it in grad school decades ago with a professor that was so conservative he was practically a NAZI and he openly scoffed at it. That’s how you get the 1% owning vast majority of everything.
Unless one is willing to risk starting his/her own business, the economics are going to trickle from somewhere, be that a business or be it the government. Therein you have encapsulation of Capitalism vs Marxism. Both are trickle down. The difference is simply the source of the trickle.

I agree. Bill should be 2-3 sentences.
Article 1: stop spending money on shitty “movements”
Article 2: F them Taxes
Article 3: Term Limits for all

This machine won’t be stopped. Rs and Ds are at the pot lapping up taxpayer money with their forked tongues. They could care less about anyone , that’s what got them there.

The idea that you or anyone else suggests that the idea of trickle down economics or the mention of a professor scoffed at is a laugh all by itself as there was never any policy of it. It was first mentioned as part of a comedian skit that plan by a 1930’s and then from a rival politician of Reagan. If a professor scoffed at the idea then maybe he wasn’t a conservative after all

Trickle down economics is bullshite,
Of course it is… it’s based on a faulty premise to start with… it allows the rich to. hoard wealth and resources.., business owners make more money and find innovative ways to pay less for labor… people make the silly argument “do people flipping burgers deserve 20$ hour”,,, when in reality that company their flipping burgers for worth more than company’s paying employees decent salaries… trickle down economics = profit over everything

‘Government’ has become the source for both societal employment and unemployment (subsidies) which deliver basic life goods and services to all. If Government goes down the BGS Infrastructure goes down with it and those who believe that Gold or Bitcoin can insulate them from calamity are dreaming. Many are essentially unemployable and that will not change as such is a psychological problem. I have no idea how continued spending and ultimate collapse is averted. I hope someone does.

Real income goes up for middle class every time there alare tax cuts, as do revenues into the federal government.
Every
Time
Spending is the issue. It always has been. Always will be.
Does this cut as much as I want? No, it doesnt.
You know why? Because there are constraints to what can be included in a reconciliation.
Once again, grandstanding are forsaking the good because it is not perfect.

So when is it your governance - will you ever start responsibility?

Musk isn’t even addressing the math honestly. There is no way to reduce or eliminate the deficit and do a huge tax cut for wealthy people and large corporations.

Cool beans on your opinion.
The only issue that I have with it is:
doesn’t compute.
No matter what the blue haired professors of today say, Nazis were far left…period.
Neo-Nazis were (and are…if they still exist in any real numbers) far right.

How do you think punishing success works out in terms of economic growth?
Meanwhile, how does it work economically?
e.g., Selectively soaking the rich at Obama levels would generate $150-$250B/yr. Whereas a 5% sales tax would generate up to 6x that.

It big but doesn’t sound so beautiful. What the chances of it getting through the senate? I’m asking I have no idea, I know it slipped through the house by 1.

It also has to be considered in the environment in which the term was coined. It's like talking about the Laffer Curve and pretending the predictions are always accurate regardless of current tax burden. There are hypothetical economic conditions where "trickle down" is a good principle and there are economic conditions where it would be a bad idea.

In 2007 our spending was $2.72T on $2.56T in revenue for a deficit of $160B. For 2024 we spent $6.75T on $4.9T in revenue for a deficit of $1.8T. Our revenues have doubled, but our deficit is 10x bigger. We have a spending problem not a revenue problem.
Second, the "middle class" pays, basically nothing. Nearly 50% pay no taxes. And government transfer payments... Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, Social Security, make up 19% of all personal income.
Meanwhile... the top 1% pays 45% of the taxes, despite only having 25% of the total income.
"The Rich" aren't the problem here.
