Shocking, no?

Kansas' Tax Cut Disaster


"The largest tax cuts went to those at the top, and Kansas actually raised taxes on the lowest-income families. Nothing in the Kansas economy’s subpar performance since these tax cuts were enacted suggests the benefits have “trickled down” to ordinary Kansans."

That's what happens when economics becomes a matter of faith.

This didn't work because they didn't act conservatively enough.

Kansas is running into two problems:

1) The state court ruling that requires them to do more education funding. This means that there's a spending gap created that was not originally in place.

2) The fact that Brownback has opted not to cut spending significantly. It's like the George W. Bush problem except that states can't go into deficit spending.

Brownback's only done half the job, and is getting screwed in unanticipated ways as well.
