A term describing the faulty logic of Reaganomics. Also known as trickle down, the theory is that if you reduce income (i.e. cut taxes) then you somehow generate more revenue. Obviously, this is not rational thinking.
The proof that this did not work (as if anyone needed it) is the fact that the national debt tripled during the Reagan Administration.

Supposedly teaches how to do math, but incomprehensible to anyone who cannot already do math (See catch 22). Often, the number of Greek letters and obscure symbols found within outnumber the actual english words. Enjoyed by no one. Any exceptions lie.
