You cherry picked a point in the process of government expenditure and said it’s synominous with Trickle Down Economics. Personally I don’t see any point in your confusing the issue this way, except to paint Obama as doing something he hates.

The government choosing what sectors to spend money and who to prop up is practically the opposite Mr. Shelton. You even write: “I mentioned and telling them how to spend it..” -that’s not Reaganomics. That would be government interference to a Reaganite.

Trickle down is much more than just giving tax breaks to the rich and hoping it will trickle down to the rest of the economy. Also, I did not say that the government was simply choosing were to spend the money. That is not where they are doing. They are giving it to the entry points I mentioned and telling them how to spend it and hoping that it will trickle down to the rest of the economy. They have started with a Keynesian model and switched to a Trickle-down model mid way. That point is hard to argue.

You are correct in that the main focus on Trickle-down economics starts with tax rates. I agree with that but the principles are the same. Obama is using trickle down principles to accomplish one of his purposes. I say one because getting the economy back on track is secondary to him. His main purpose is to socialize our country.

I still maintain that he is relying on trickle down. I think this is because he recognizes, at some level, that trickle down is the only way to get the economy back on track. Sadly, he does not embrace the whole theory. If he did, we might have a fighting chance.

Trickle Down Economics Theory says that tax cuts for the rich trickle down and benefit everyone. Government spending or giving it to others the government chooses is not the same thing.

You can’t just go redefining words willy-nilly.

The problem is that the government isn’t simply spending the money. They are giving it to others to spend.
