TPM: Kentucky=Kansas
http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/kansas-lawmakers-abandon-brownback-budgetHow bad has Gov Brownback screwed up Kansas? So bad that TPM calls it Kentucky in its headline about how horrible things are in Kansas. Brownback apparently tried to repeat the Reagan Miracle in Flat Land by cutting taxes until tax revenues surged from all that new business tax-haven created.
In the past 12 months (March 2015-2016) Kansas private sector created 800 jobs. That's 1/10th of one percent growth--significantly behind the test of Obama's economy.
Some day even the dumbest conservative its going to wake up to the economic reality that campaigning for smaller government is like running for chauffeur on a platform of less cat maintenance.
on edit, apparently TPM has fixed the error and now the headline reads Kansas
