“Trickle Down” is patterned, as a sales pitch, to sound like a Capitalist New Deal. Its the same pitch line, except its keyed to an audience that’s been drubbed over the head with “The government can’t be trusted to do anything nice for you” forty years after the New Deal and Great Society programs have gone stale.
You want modernized infrastructure? You want domestic growth? You want luxury consumer goods? Let private investment work its magic.
And, in fairness, we are now awash in privatized infrastructure, a staggeringly bloated finance sector, and mountains of cheap consumerist babbles well within the reach of the median consumer. The trickle came down. In 1980, a full wall of custom themed Marvel Branded Bobble-heads would have cost you a fortune. Now you can get it on a fry cook’s salary.
Hey, that trickle down is gonna happen any day now, exactly as promised!
