President Ronald Reagan was roundly criticized for his "trickle down" comment in announcing his economic reform plan in the early 1980s, but it was little more than a modern application of the plan that Alexander Hamilton created more than 200 years earlier. It was Hamilton's immediate purpose to put into place economic policy that could ensure preservation of the Union only past its growing pains, but his creativity contributed to preservation of the Union in its most trying period as well.
