Theory saying that if the rich get richer they will give their surplus cash to the poor. Of course this theory assumes that the rich aren't greedy bastards that will horde all their money in banks, spend it on two million dollar trips to space which benefit no one except the Russians that take them there, or blow it all on a Super Sweet Sixteen for their retarded daughters who get pissed that their parents got them the $200,000 car instead of the $300,000.

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.

n.

The worst and most absolutely illogical form of world capitalism. Holds that if you give money to people who are already rich, it will be invested and slowly "trickle down" to the hands of those who need the money. Doesn't ever work, and has no logic at all. Practiced by rightards and Republicunts. Was responsible for the economic disaster that was the Great Depression.
If you conservative dumbshits want the commies to come back, then just keep practicing those trickle-down economics...

Any type of make-shift community comprised of tents or shanties and populated by those that have been evicted, foreclosed on and/or forced into homelessness due to the down turn of the economy caused by the policies started in the Reagan administration and carried on by both Bush administrations.
The tent city populated by the recent homeless in CA is an example of a Trickle Down Town.

A shower in which you only apply body wash to the top of your body, allowing it to trickle down to your lower body in order to wash it instead of applying it yourself. Named after Ronald Reagan's famous use of "Trick Down Economics" which is known for being a failure.
