In my opinion we have not ever given trickle down enough time to work. People are so impatient that if nothing changes overnight they go looking for the latest idea. I think the policies put in place by Regan really did lead to the boom of the 90's. Hell for me personally the 80's were good. My dad was a defense contractor and he did really well during that time. Canada was also rebuilding their air force at the time and we got to live up their for a while. I have a hard time arguing the 80's because they were ok for me. What was it like for others?
