n. The most absurd economic theory that ever existed. It includes giving the rich large sums of money. Accordingly, the wealthy will then hoarde the money into banks and there will therefore, be less money in circulation.
Herbert Hoover used trickle down economics, taking money from the poor and giving it to the wealthy. He is responsible for the Great Depression.

Since the upper classes of any society (in particular the males in the upper classes) tend to masturbate more than the proletariat, it's thought their semen and vaginal discharge can help fertilize those in the poorer reaches of said society - this is trickle-down economics. Giving bankers tax breaks will free up more of their time for masturbation, allowing for more ejaculate, and more enrichment of the lower classes. Since rich persons tend on average to produce less semen and vaginal fluid, the word 'trickle' rather than 'gush' or 'explode' is used.
