The left loves stimulus, so long as it's driven by dementia instead of the orange man.
But the left hates trickle down. In their minds the more you take from employers the more likely employees are to get a raise. Let's call it what it is instead, they desire govt. entitlements, because that's the only other direction, and that starves a country under socialism. But the PROGS talk anyway, they do that a lot. In PROG, the less money you make the better car you drive, debt & bad decisions are personal too.
Trickle down economics is just a term. For those who think rationally it's really up & down, an exchange of money ongoing. If that shit don't work, then explain why economic stimulus is different, go!
I'll give it a go.
You are conflating 2 different things.
Economic stimulis is giving money to people or businesses who qualify for it by a predetermined set of standards.
Trickle down economics is the idea that as profit increases so do wages of those employed.
The first is predictable and easily quantified in its outcome. The second is a philosophy that is neither.
As to your first paragraph.
Yes, we want more entitlements. The reason being that unlike trickledown economics the available funds are guaranteed to help the employed and... yes also the unemployed and other people in need. It doesn't "starve" a country as countless Western countries have proved. It leads to a higher standard of living and more happiness of the populace on the whole.
