trickle-down economics

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.
milton friedman was a big believer in trickle-down economics

Steve: Dude, you really f'd up on that predication!
Economist: Well if one looks at it from a non-inflationary enviorment, disregarding the laffer curve, then my hypothesis was in fact correct. Its Economics 101

Bayhnseian Economics

Any fiscally conservative or moderate economic policy or theory aimed at satisfying all political parties involved.

Named after American Senator Evan Bayh (D-IN) and his archetype, the hallowed economist Alan Keynes, both advocates, to some degree, of lasseiz-faire politics.
The main problem with Bayhnseian Economics is that while attempting to satisfy everybody involved, it also has a record of not satisfying anybody.

economics

-A social science discipline with a contemporaneous logical framework that's based completely on the assumption that scarcity is a problem intrinsic to society. The effect of which justifies greed as a virtue.

-An institutional requirement for dime-a-dozen business majors, usu. taught by middle-aged, overly opinionated, white males in need of serious cultural experiences.

-Taught by sports coaches in high school as the study of "common sense."
Teacher: "Economics studies how a society chooses to allocate its scarce resources among alternative uses."

Student: "What if the society's resources cease to be scarce?"

Teacher: "How is that even possible?"

Student: "The society's productivity meets or exceeds the point of what it needs to sustain itself."

Teacher: "But individual material DESIRES are infinite!"

Student: "Only in a society that breeds such nonsense."
