Whenever you hear a journalist, pundit or politician (please excuse the redundancies) use the term "trickle down" one's propaganda alarm should clang and shriek. "Trickle down" was never a term used by economists. As such, it can hardly be described as a theory.
The term was always derisive. The fact that it was picked up by the news media says more about the values of the fourth estate than about the merits of free enterprise. Would a Hillary presidency look more like a Clinton presidency or an Obama presidency? I think we know the answer.
AT LEAST SHE DID NOT CALL HER MARCIA

Republican Charlie Baker Leading In Massachusetts Gubernatorial Race
This blog has discussed Charlie Baker before. He gave incumbent Duval Patrick a run for his money in 2010 and were it not for a third party fiscally conservative candidate draining off votes, Baker might have won the election.
Baker's opponent is Attorney General Martha Coakley who is best known as the candidate who lost a special election to Scott Brown for the late Ted Kennedy's Senate seat.
BTW, Massachusetts is much better off than most blue states. I cannot speak to the solidity of their pensions but The Bay State has not undergone the budget crises that we witness in places like Illinois and California. Boston is not on the skids like Detroit and Chicago. Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino both seem to have done good jobs under difficult circumstances.
We will revisit the Massachusetts miracle later. For now, let us focus on the governor's race:
Baker 38.
Coakley 37.
