“Heated arguments are bad”
No need for politics. But what you left out was that “trickle down” was a derogatory term created used by the critics of Reagan tax cuts.
So the intersection of the set of people who use the term “trickle down” and the set of people who agreed with Reagan’s economic policies is pretty much an empty set. Anybody who says “Trickle down economics works” is a common saying sounds like they’re pushing alternative facts to me. Regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the economic policy, “trickle down” was a term used by critics, not supporters.
ETA: Upon fact-checking myself, the term “trickle down” is much older than the 1980s. But wikipedia agrees with my primary point, that it’s always been a derogatory, critical nomenclature, not a supportive one, and even presents some evidence that it’s an intentional mischaracterization.
Is that one false, or is that one a joke? 
It’s false. Good heated arguments are something that are great to see if all sides are acting in good faith.
I sometimes like watching heated arguments, but I hate being in them. 
Thanks, i never realized that aspect of it.
i guess an old dog can learn something new.
OT:
“You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”
:laughing: Is this a false saying, or are you making a joke?
Neither, but I do get in more arguments on BLF than most. 
I swear that I don't enjoy it, though.
I didn't know that either.
I've only been following politics closely for less than a decade, and I thought that "Reaganomics" and "trickle down economics" were synonyms for each other without a difference between them.

"You can't teach an old raccoon new tricks."
What are sports, if they’re not heated, physical arguments over which team/athlete is superior?
Michelle Myers?
They are not!! Go to Hell!!! 
Or, as Mr. Garrison would say...
You go to hell and you die!
(As if that's the proper order.) 
Getting old is Fun…… enjoy your ‘Golden years’

I guess its better than the alternative…… 
I'd rather be really old than dead, but that's assuming I'm reasonably healthy and not suffering.
Heck, I'm 46 years old, and on most days I feel like I'm a teenager.
I'm more mature than when I was a teenager, but I don't feel like I'm middle-aged most of the time.
On topic...
"When you 'assume', you make an a$$ out of u and me."
I think this saying is sometimes true and sometimes not.
I actually avoid using the word assume most of the time because of this popular saying/belief.
@RC……. 46? I have underwear that old! Fwiw I still felt like a teenager at 46 too (almost 20y ago). Believe me, the * ‘Best’ is yet to come. 
I'm not a violent person, but I like horror movies and I have a dark sense of humor...
Imagine a TV drama (like Dexter) about a serial killer dating another serial killer.
Oh, the hijinks they'd get into!
