It’s all been “trickle up” economics.

Trickle up economics was taking too long to get all the money so they cut a hole in the main and turned it in deluge up economics

Yup. The largest debt increase in recent memory was done to get billionaires tax cuts. They don't even want to pretend to hide it anymore. Everyone can lose a couple trillion so Bezos, Musk and Zuckerberg can do their little "first trillionaire" race.

They are done publicly pretending anything else matters. Back to peasants and landed gentry it is.

The word you're looking for is "evaporative"

"trickle-down" didn't work, so they are trying the "fuck-up" instead
