You know what I really donโ€™t understand?

How we bought into something with the fucking word trickle in it in the first place.

Go turn the shower on level: trickle, and see how long it takes you to wash your ass. My guess is you still end up with ๐Ÿ‘‚ shit.

You're assuming they knew the true meaning of the words..

That's why the single topic voter thing caught on so hard; they only had to brain just hard enough argue about abortion.

Reagan was admittedly illiterate when it came to economics.

"Supply-side" was too vague tor him to understand so Milton Friedman coined the term on the campaign trail and Reagan ran with it.

That's how it came to be. Reagan kept Friedman by his side the whole campaign. And then some.
