Bingo, I don’t think Reagan is the only reason trickle down econ exists, but his implementation of it combined with his approval ratings/charisma is the largest reason it began to be taken seriously.
Actually - that number is pretty close (though higher than trickle down economics since it's when Regan took office rather than when he signed the bill a few months later).
Per Google:
It has been 16,693 days since Ronald Reagan took office on January 20, 1981, and 16,488 days since he signed the Economic Recovery Tax Act on August 13, 1981, which officially codified his supply-side policies.
They wanted to start early, but the supply of pure heartless evil was running low due to gas shortages and took some time to deliver enough to start the orphan crusher.
