Allowing people to determine how to spend their own money is the exact opposite of what you are claiming.

It was Reaganomics that started the "trickle down" theory of economics.

If there was EVER an idea that "the whole damn shootin' match could be directed from on high" I would have to figure THAT was it.
It is ok, not everyone can understand economics. A former frequent poster here took several years of coaching to get to develop the most basic understanding of economics.

Government spending is wasteful. The current design of government spending makes the problem grow much worse every year. People can best determine for themselves what they need and how to best spend their own money. This is the key to economic growth. Prosperity comes from economic growth.

The old saying "A rising tide floats all boats." has long been used to explain why everyone benefits in an expanding economy.
