Which U.S. President is known for the economic plan termed "Trickle-Down Economics"?

• A. Bill Clinton
• B. Ronald Reagan
• C. George W. Bush
• D. George H.W. Bush

Answer: (B)

The economic plan known as "Trickle-Down Economics" is most famously associated with Ronald Reagan, particularly during his presidency in the 1980s. This approach is based on the idea that benefits provided to wealthy individuals and businesses will eventually "trickle down" to the rest of the population in the form of job creation, investment, and increased economic activity. Under Reagan's policies, significant tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations were implemented, with the belief that such measures would stimulate economic growth.

Reagan's administration argued that reducing government regulations and taxes would lead to greater investment and spending in the economy, ultimately benefiting all economic classes. Supporters of this theory believe that when businesses succeed, it creates jobs and opportunities for everyone, while critics argue that it disproportionately favors the wealthy and exacerbates income inequality.

The other presidents mentioned did not primarily advocate for this specific economic philosophy. Bill Clinton is known for his centrist economic policies, including a focus on balanced budgets and welfare reform. George W. Bush's economic policies were a mix of tax cuts and spending initiatives, but he did not explicitly refer to "Trickle-Down Economics" as a guiding principle. George H.W. Bush also dealt with economic challenges but did not promote policies under that
