I wasn't using hyperbole. It was an honest question. I'm not an economist, but I try to stay up, and this sounds - to me, a non-economist - just like trickle-down economics (with regard to the parent comment - not yours).
Is there a different phrase I should use so as to not offend?
Edited for clarification
- ryandrake 9y agoYour identification of this as trickle-down economics comes from WkndTriathlete's assumption that bringing the money back here will benefit the economy as a whole (as opposed to the few who obviously directly benefit). I think this idea has been mostly debunked but the topic is complex and there are probably details that reasonable people can disagree over.
- grasshopperpurp 9y agoAppreciate the response! I agree that there is room for disagreement. I was just curious to see if there was some nuance that I am missing.
