We agree that trickle down doesn't work. Then stop voting for people like Obama and stop supporting this Federal Reserve and stop supporting Keynesianisms' QE and ZIRP. They all are supporting the mother of all trickle down economic policies right now and I agree with you, they do NOT work. Does it even matter anymore? Plutocratic Zionist sociopathic billionaires control all the levers, all the trap doors and all our elected officials. Central bankers world wide doing what we are doing.ECB just cut and the dollar is quite strong today. If Yellen were to normalize rates what would that do to the dollar, jobs and our trade deficit? Would not be much different if we had a president Hillary or Mitt at this point. I'd argue would be more uneven, more unbalanced especially with Mitt running things.. You talk of the 99% and socialism but to me it is perhaps the top 20% doing quite well at this point. Some form of socialism/welfare for both the top 1% and 100M at the bottom but capitalism on steroids for anyone else driven as much by financial engineering and asset bubbles fueling excess consumption and misallocation of capital as by any labor gains unfortunately... Curious you gave up trying to educate the wingers on the FAMD board. Do you think any of them get it either? Doubling down on tax cuts, wars, deregulation, trickle down, gutting entitlements blaming all our problems on Obama as if this just started six years ago will do the trick?

I can see that you and I are both unified in our belief that trickle down economics does not work. Then why are you for Keynesianism as practiced by Obama's Federal Reserve? QE and ZIRP are the mother of all trickle down economics. It has done nothing but enrich the 1% and impoverish the 99%. We agree that trickle down doesn't work. Then stop voting for people like Obama and stop supporting this Federal Reserve and stop supporting Keynesianisms' QE and ZIRP. They all are supporting the mother of all trickle down economic policies right now and I agree with you, they do NOT work. First plz stop with your constant concern for the non 1% Its getting old. SEcondly, you and others complain about keynes policies which btw have successfully taken us out of a serious recession and where lots of people are getting jobs..............including good paying jobs......well ahead of Europe. So tell me......what do you all think should have been done to save this country's economy? In just a few words plz.
