    Because no one wants to live in Kansas Toto. Look at GDP and job growth. Both in bottom 10. But but but low unemployment!!!! Success!!!

    Nearly 3 million people live in Kansas. Another post another lie from Hondo. The low unemployment refutes the lie from your article that their economy is ruined.

    It's almost as if there are confounding variables in economics. LMK when you have something that bothers to legitimately analyze Kansas' economy and show empirical evidence of policy failure.

    Did you read the article?

    1) supply side economics are sold to spur growth and create jobs. The GDP and job growth in the state is one of the worst in the country.

    2) The voters, in a very conservative State, voted in a Democrat for governor by 4.5%.

    Yes, it's an opinion piece seeking to use political elections to justify economic policy. I don't expect you to understand the difference between that and actual academic economics.

    1) See above. Economics has lots of confounding variables. Hence, show me an analysis that seeks to account and isolate the variables instead of an opinion piece that appeals to your confirmation bias.

    2) And this changes science how? I didn't realize we vote on science. Interesting take from a liberal.

    Failed tax-cut experiment in Kansas should guide national leaders

    No, it shouldn't. All the data suggests otherwise.

    The fact that their GDP and job growth is low isn't opinion. The fact that the constituents don't like cutting taxes and cutting services isn't opinion. Their votes matter.

    But keeping buying the bullshit of "we'll cut taxes and cut government and you'll love it. The wealthy have suffered enough".

    Lmk when you understand what a confounding variable is and we will pick up this convo.
