Trump will bring riches to America!

Historical analysis shows a shift over time: while Democrats were associated with major 20th-century wars like World War I, World War II, Korea, and Vietnam, since the 1990s, Republicans have been more frequently linked to launching new conflicts. For example, George H.W. Bush started the Gulf War, and George W. Bush initiated the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. In contrast, Democratic presidents like Clinton and Obama engaged in military actions (e.g., Kosovo, Libya, drone campaigns) but often without large-scale ground invasions.

Yes as I said Republicans have overwhelmingly become the party to start these forever wars.

The term simply means wars that are engaged in and designed in such way that there is no objective way to win them and once engaged you will be embroiled in them forever.

If you prefer to say 'for as long a society exists' i get it but it's just a nit pick correction.

I would argue the biggest wealth accrual in world history, which was the US post reconstruction, was a result of trickle down theory, tied to a very progressive tax structure.

Corporations and owners were unburdened to perform and get rich, while paying an increasing wealth tax while the middle class and below got better and better jobs as a result, and an increasing social safety net, all due to that wealth trickling down.

As Henry Ford recognized, society should want the MC and below to grow a ton as that makes everyone richer.

The problem kicks in when the rich decide to hijack govt to grab the disproportionate share of wealth created, a short term win, but long term cost to the country

Maybe I misunderstand what is meant by trickle down economics
I've been taking it in a literal sense and not factoring in government meddling.

Yes in the literal sense trickle down will work. Have a catastrophic reset event (asteroid) tomorrow then the way society rebuilds is trickle down. Those who have skills use them and build things like boats to allow people to fish, etc.

The boat maker gets richer as people buy his boats. The boat owners get richer and hire workers. The workers get richer and eventually some buy boats triggering the whole cycle again.

That theory works.

When we speak of the government bastardized version it has not worked in the modern age.
