Former US labor secretary Robert Reich is prompting discussion about trickle-down economics, with people recalling how hard it was to raise a family during the 1980s despite promises that wealth would flow down. Commenters say conditions feel even harder for working families today, tying Reagan-era tax policy to current cost-of-living frustrations in American politics.
Why now: Ongoing debate over inequality and cost of living makes criticism of 1980s supply-side economics resonate.
