New GHW Bush had a name for it while running against Reagan in the GOP primary in 1980.
VOODOO economics!

Of course he had to eat those words while being Reagan's VP and Reagan doubled the national debt.

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."

-- Isaac Asimov

New And worse.
To borrow a phrase, I am stunned, stunned that to this day Republican Tribe members insist that Reagan gave us "Morning in America" in the form of "economic revival" when he was the man who took the world's leading creditor nation and turned it into the world's leading debtor nation.

Quelle Suprise! The wealthy stop paying their fair share in taxes and the government goes into debt. Who knew that would happen?

Incredibly, the world's leading debtor nation, in the face of Reaganism *AND* the outcome of "The Kansas Experiment" is doubling down. I really hope my kids leave this nation of lunatics.

It's mourning in America again.
