Daily show just NAILED "trickle-down" economics!
In Robert Cordrey's report - he was talking about gas prices, but it pretty much sums up the whole theory of "trickle-down" or "supply-side" economics:

"making sure that the companies get so much profit that they will get sick of money and pass the savings on to you!"

There it is: Nixon trickle down, Reaganomics, Bush Supply-side econ in a nutshell.

2. I'd always thought of it as
country club repugnicans urinating all over the bottom 80% and telling them it's raining.
