The caricature was of Reaganomics, and its effect on current Republican economic policy, it had nothing to do with whoever may have used the term in a galaxy long, long ago. That's subterfuge to ignore the point. My attribution to Baldridge was right on target, the media caught it, along with his inability to understand its faults and failures, and what it meant to the middle class. Reaganomics was Trickle Down Economics, and Paul Ryan and Co. have cherished it like inerrant scripture, and convinced the tea party, Rush the Lamebrain and Glenn the Boob, and responses from conservatives here predictably ignore the point.
