The term Trickle Down predated Reagan. It was first used during the Great Depression era, I believe. Then it was considered a positive thing. It was used pejoratively by Reagan detractors.

DPS Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Hmmm, I'm below average. My share of the national debt is only 12K. Â What happens if the US defaults on its loans? Will the bond holders start repossing the country's assets? If so I got dibs on a fighter jet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loose_Brie Posted February 20, 2004 Share Posted February 20, 2004 the cool thing about being the government, is that you get to print money. so we aint defaulting any time soon. As long as you don't mind paying $20 for a big mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
