trickle-down

Trickle-down economics was the answer.

Trickle-down economics does not work.

We see this in terms of the trickle-down effect of illness, in the sense that care is also what allows us to take care of other people when they are sick.

So you're still motivated by threat, but if you see most of America as suffering because of their own actions or inactions, or you legitimately see trickle-down economics as being the best — if you're rich, that's good for everybody — you could still be motivated by genuine threats.

New multistory apartment buildings packed in along Sunset Boulevard or the Wilshire corridor may add to L.A.’s total housing stock, but even when affordable rental units are required in these buildings, the trickle-down benefit is minimal.
