Is this proof that trickle down economics doesn't work?

Question

The economy is in shambles, the national debt is unbelievable, many business's are failing, Benigans and Steak and ale announce they are going out of business today. things seem to be going down hill more and more, not to mention the housing crisis and oil cost. Isn't it time to stop digging the hole we are in and try new stratagies.

Answer 1

Could you back up and show me where trickle-down economics was supposed to have had a role in there? I didn’t read anything on the subject in your statement.

Do you think we’re supposed to have nothing but economic growth all the time? That’s not really possible. There have to be down times to balance the up times.

I don’t think things are really all that bad, and I wonder every day how the average person’s outlook would change if the evening news wouldn’t spend so much time telling us how bad we’re supposed to think it is.

Answer 2

trickle down ecomomics do not happen over night.
