"SNIP..................
The new Kansas jobs numbers were released Friday morning, bringing horrible news to state taxpayers and Gov. Sam Brownback.
The federal Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the total number of nonfarm jobs in Kansas fell by 4,100 in November.
Kansas disturbing experience was at odds with how much of the rest of the country did. A total of 37 other states gained in employment in November, while only 13 others, including Kansas, dropped.
Missouri boosted employment by 4,500 in November, for instance, while Oklahoma gained 3,400 jobs. Two other neighbors, Nebraska and Colorado, were among the job losers, though not close to the number shredded in Kansas.

Republicans want us all to work for $2 an hour so their overlords can
reap more billions from us.

Everything he does is exactly the opposite of what Christ taught.
Screw the poor to benefit the wealthy.
Starve the hungry.
Refuse medical care to the sick.
Now if there was a single non spineless Democrat that could point this
out, we wouldn't have any Republicans in power.
So voters you have a choice.
Republican scum or Democratic cowards.
No wonder 75% of the eligible voters don't bother......
