(
Political) a.k.a. "Trickle away": the Bush-era economic policy.
Advocated by people who can not add up simple one digit integers greater than five without taking their socks off, and pure fiscal
hypocrisy from
those who slam "tax and spend liberals".
Guy1: "Didn't Reagan
do something like this: the trickle-down thing?"
Guy2: "Yeah, but Bush's trickle-away theory took the liberals' tax-and-spend
philosophy and turned it into tax less and spend more. Wanna buy a pencil? Or some matches?"
