There's no need in trying to revive Reaganomics, it never went away. Every president since him has practiced trickle down economics

Name one president who has not been a neoliberal since Reagan.

Who has refused to strike down Trumps tax cuts for the rich? Who, when asked, if he would strike down Trump's tax cuts for the rich responded. with an astounding, 'NO?'

Every single Democrat along with every Republican since Reagan has practiced trickle down economics. For all intents Biden is Reagan's 11th term

Riiiight. I guess with a username like yours, everyone is the enemy of whatever you think is right and just 😂

I have a different username, hopefully it doesn't offend you somehow. Let me give you an example of what the other person meant: credit cards have replaced large parts of our social safety nets. We think of the convenience but we aren't told how convenient credit was argued as a substitute for welfare programs. Now I'm getting ads to have groceries delivered on credit.
