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.
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.
Don’t bother. Trying to have a rational economic discussion with an economic illiterate who refuses to acknowledge his ignorance or seek knowledge when led to it is a waste of time.
The problem with socialist leftards is that they are happy to ignore basic economic principles for a wad of feelings. It’s like ignoring gravity. If you want less private sector activity, you tax it or steal it. If you want more sloth, you subsidize it. If you can’t see the difference between Cuba and Chile or North or South Korea – you are a proudly ignorant leftard.

TL;DR - Hondo is a waste of time.
Sure! On my terms as I see fit.
