5. Everyone, well almost everyone, has been pretending supply side has been effective.

This is a by product of tax cuts. The controllers of the media want to preserve their tax cuts so the media reflects this. The rest of the wealthy are on board with this of course.

But the truth is, supply side has been a miserable failure. Democrats should stop acting as though Grover Norquist has some secret sauce. Every Democratic office holder should be in favor of returning to the days of government investment.

To hell with the idiot Republicans. Do you really expect them to admit there is a problem with Reaganomics? Reagan and the belief in Reagan's policies have become a kind of quasi religion. Republicans can't look at the results of Reagan presidency objectively.
