2. It's trickled down, no one cared that it also ran out the borders
Corporate decision making has been driven by down and out thinking for a long long time.


What's new is this year that there really is a point where over-valuation overwhelms the dam. The invincible sea our business leaders thought the economy floated on turned out to be just a version of Lake Delton.

3. Exactly!
I think that 28 years (give or take) of Reagonomics should've been enough time for the wealth to have "trickled down" to the masses. Instead, however, most of us have found ourselves trickled ON!" IMHO it's time to end our country's "experiment" with Reagonomics. It clearly does NOT work.
