The Perfect Spell: Voodoo Economics with a Trickle Down Twist [View all]

By Steve Clifford

Republicans believe that the tax cuts in Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill (OBBB) will spur economic growth that Government revenues will increase. Will it?

“What happens when you reduce taxes and you incentivize and increase the incentives for investment is people invest, they make money and they pay more taxes, and government revenue goes up,” said Senator majority leader John Thune. In a social-media post last month President Trump wrote that passage of OBBB will triple or even quintuple CBO’s forecast of 1.8% growth, which did not allow for the effects of OBBB.

These Republican expectations are based on the scientifically proven interaction of Trickle-Down prosperity and the theory of Advanced Voodoo Economics.

Johnson André, The Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers (CEA), holds advanced degrees in both economics and Voodoo from Université d’État d’Haïti. He explained, “When mixed, Voodoo and Trickle Down, both individually complex, form a plethora of emergent behaviors at the subatomic level involving the interactions and transformations of the tiny particles driven by the Strong Nuclear Force and the Weak Nuclear Force, which immediately spur economic growth. Though conclusively proven many times, Neanderthal Democrats still deny the verified effects of Voodoo Trickle Down.”
