      that it’s based on the scientific method, and there’s repeatable experiments/steps to take with proven and proveable outcomes.

      “Trickle down economics” is a fucking lie, yet we have zillions of (economic) liberals.

        Is astronomy a science?

        Some sciences rely more on analysis & indirect observation. Direct experimentation can be intractable making testing of hypotheses & theories less straightforward.

        Academic economics resources I’ve read (decades ago) are dismissive of trickle-down/supply-side economics.
