i've just been prompted to think about trickledown economics after reading this article at smirkingchimp.com.



the u.k had trickledown economics in the 1980s, when the country was run by the corporate pirate, margaret thatcher.



what happened was a prolonged boom-and-bust cycle in which millions of honest, hard-working people lost all their money, their homes and their possessions - oh, and margaret thatcher became much richer.



if bush thinks that's the way to run an economy, he's even more stupid than i thought; and i already thought him a complete moron..
