You understand the economy was in recession in his final year? Doesn't sound so strong to me.
Explain to me how 'trickle down' doesn't work? Name one, anyone who has a good high paying job from a poor person? All jobs, and thus all money, trickles down from Rich people.
Ford got his start from rich people investing in his ideas (trickle down), which led him to become CEO of first mass production car company, which employed dozens, and now hundreds of thousands of workers (trickle down), which required parts from other companies run by rich people (trickle down), who then needed to hire dozens of workers to make those parts (trickle down).
Nothing trickles up. Name one homeless beggar on the street who employs people for $50K a year? Or even a $1 a day? Or anything? Of course not. The idea is insane. Trickle down economics is how the planet works, whether you like or agree with it.
Yeah we've seen the success of community reinvestment by government in the form of sub-prime loans, and how incredibly well that worked, thank you Clinton.
