45. Supply side economics is largely what got us into this mess.
George H W Bush originally referred to it a voodoo economics. It is the biggest con of the last century. Immediately after it was implemented by Reagan, the economy went into a deep recession as the deficits began to expand. Supply side policies have led to a destabilized economy. riding a roller coaster of financial bubbles and recessions. And the very wealthy became much much wealthier while the other 95% became poorer. We lost most of our manufacturing through "free trade" agreements, and people who used build wealth through manufacturing are now lucky to be serving up fries.

Get a clue, Aramchek.
