TRIVIA.....Will history be repeated ? ?

I spent four years in college as an econ major debating the following:

Trickle down economics vs. tax and spend economics

There is no "right" answer to this debate, but both sides utilize it to defend their positions. There are loads of good arguments on both sides and if you look at history, there are supportable historic examples for both sides.

I kinda get worked up when I see someone defend their side to the death, because there is so much evidence on the other side. Ultimately, I think it is not useful to address these issues in such a black and white fashion. Simplifying argument is good for internet chat boards, but it doesn't really put us in any position to draw complex and appropriate conclusions.
