The Future for America?

TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) — "After he became Kansas governor in 2011, Sam Brownback slashed personal income taxes on the promise that the deep cuts would trigger a furious wave of hiring and expansion by businesses.

"But the "shot of adrenaline" hasn't worked as envisioned, and the state budget has been in crisis ever since. Now many of the same Republicans who helped pass Brownback's plan are in open revolt, refusing to help the governor cut spending so he can avoid rolling back any of his signature tax
measures"

In Kansas, lawmakers lose patience with governor's tax cuts

OMG, cut spending!? Every state university must have a Director of Lesbian Diversity making 6 figures!

Example of an Idiot-Gram ^^^ posted by an apparent homophobic bigot who believes s/he is clever.

Now that we've proved the why of the Idiot-Gram, let's consider the issue, cutting spending.

Q. What happens when taxes are cut and spending is reduced:

A. Personnel are cut
A. Unemployment increases
A. Spending for discretionary items slows
A. retail establishments lay off staff
A. Sales tax diminishes
A. The economy stalls
A. American becomes Kansas

Q. Who benefits from tax cuts

A. The higher earners

Q. Who are harmed by tax cuts

A. The poor, working poor and workers earning below the state or nations mean earnings

Q. Then what happens

A. More needs by government to provide food, clothing and shelter for those in need
A. Greater burdens on all Social Services
A. More homeless

Cutting spending needs to be done by responsible legislators who understand that cost-benefits and cost-deficits need to be identified; the movement toward fiscal conservatism has been based mostly on emotion, fear mongering and a complete disregard for consequences, known and unknown.


That's odd....according the CAFR report...buried deep in the report is a stat sheet showing that just the state "gubermint" alone is sitting on 8 billion dollars after expenditures and that doesn't even include the investments of their counties and states. Sounds like the corporate gubermints need to loosen the tight fist of commerce and liquidate some of their holdings instead of coming to the citizens......ya think??
 
State income taxes are obscene. They keep trying to pass one here. If you government relies on ripping off the citizenry then the government is corrupt.

Homeless sleeping on the streets of major cities is obscene, children without enough to eat is obscene, the murders at Sandy Hook were obscene. Lead in the water in an American City is obscene, but taxes, well no one likes them, but they can be used to mitigate some obscenities.[/QUOTE

If things are so bad, how come we don't secure the borders? Why must we subsidize illiegals and muslim immigrants that are crashing the party when so much needs to be done. Your beloved "gubermint" is sitting on 145 TRILLLION dollars in assets and just from their dividends along bring in 4 times the money they need even with a bloated military budget....go talk to them instead of trying to shame people into supporting higher taxes. BTW, how many homeless people are you currently housing? Or are you the type that is all talk and no action. You want change? Be the change ......instead of begging for it from strangers on street corners.

Yeah this nationwide doubling down by Republicans on shoveling money into the pockets of the wealthy while cutting help to the poor is a forest fire of epic proportions. They're ruining state after state with their absolute lack of knowledge of economics.

Yeah! That Bush is still President, right Ricky Retardo?

Straw Man, how's the Red Herring today? You do not understand 'states'. Try the dictionary for 'state'. Then try again.
 
Wry wants a government of the people, by the people and for the people; not representatives whose job depends on bribes from the power elite (mostly which disadvantage the many) and voting to toe the line to keep their job.

Wry wants fiscal responsibility to replace austerity / fiscal conservatism, since the former will create jobs and the latter increases unemployment and has yet to prove the ability to reduce the deficit.

Wry wants a Constitutional Amendment to provide POTUS the line-item veto (each blue lined item would be reviewable by The Congress and replaced by a 2/3 vote in both chambers).

Wry is sure CrusaderFrank is brain damaged and would like to see a CT scan of the black hole between his ears.

Kansas voted and they're trying an experiment to reduce government. They don't want to end up like Flint, Detroit, Chicago, Cuba, Greece, Venezuela and every other place that's tried your failed economic ideas

Obama supporter wants fiscal responsibility. Then you wonder why we call you Freddo

You see how stupid it sounds that you support Obama and want "Fiscal Responsibility" right, Freddo?

And you believe cutting taxes reduces the deficit; that the income of the very wealthy trickles and corporate America trickles down; that that the two SC decisions repealing campaign finance laws are all about free speech and protecting our democratic republic of the people, by the people and for the people. And you wonder why I believe you to be a fool.

See, you have to make up stuff about me -- I assume you're preparing for some diminished capacity defense. I can quote your "Fiscally responsible -- Obama" directly to confirm you're an idiot

What's "Fiscally responsible" about Obama's government?

The Bailout of the auto industry and the stimulus, but you're too myopic to understand, and too dishonest to admit conservative dogma is impure and simply dog shit.

So that adds up to $8 Trillion of new Federal debt plus $4 Trillion of new Fed stimulus?

I thought the auto bailout was already showing a profit

And did you mean this failed stimulus?



See, when you double down and try to justify your "Fiscal responsible" comments you only dig yourself deeper


The stimulus was not a failure, the failures and the debt grew as a result of two wars and two tax cuts during the prior administration. Only a liar and a fool continue to pretend the first decade of this century was anything but a fiasco, one which resulted in The Great Recession.

Morons and assholes continue to Blame Obama for everything, and Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi. Only fools believe this crap, fools who listen to Fox News, Hannity, Limbaugh, and the rest of the talking heads who spew lies, half-truth, rumors, innuendos and character assassinations; echoed by you and other fools who repeat them over and over and over.

Brownback demanded that we use his state as a laboratory demonstrating what happens when you enact republican policy.

Its been half a decade. Lets see what Sam made.....and see what happens when you enact republican policy. .
 

"“My focus is to create a red-state model that allows the Republican ticket to say, ‘See, we’ve got a different way, and it works.’”

- Sam Brownback, 2012

Odd, I don't see anyone on the Republican Ticket pointing to Kansas and lauding how well it 'works'.

So, riddle me this; With a republican governor, republican legislature, and the tax policy that the GOP promised would supercharge the economy of Kansas........who is responsible for the outcome?

C'mon 'party of personal responsibility'. Show us a little.

Big difference between Common sense republicans and tea party idiots like Brownback.

Common sense Republicans were tossed under the bus as RINO's years ago.
I consider Trump a common sense republican. No doubt we disagree on that but....common sense is KNOWING what the common man wants and what he considers the problems. Trump has done that and that's why he has established control over the republican party.
 
There are no guarantees nor magic bullets in this sorry ass Obama economy; one could cut taxes to zero if there are no jobs and federal corporate taxes are the highest in the world it won't help. When Obama is out of office watch the economy turn around. By the way the California state economy is crap too and Moonbeam Brown did what democrats suggest. He raised taxes opened the border and the job market in CA sucks and has sucked fro 8 years! Plus this is an AP story which makes it suspect at best. They openly lie over at AP.

Do you know how to use Google? Do you know how to read a CAFR or even interpret it? Let your fingers do the walking. The budget versus what assets a corporate entity like The State Of Kansas is holding are two very different things. Do your own due diligence if you don't believe me but when you find out, you are going to be pissed enough to go down that rabbit and find out the HUGE amount of wealth this composite corporate "gubermint" known as USA.INC is holding onto. Every state is a subsidiary, every city, county and state is a subsidiary of the state. See how they connect? Even the police departments are incorporated and you can find them on Dun and Bradstreet and for a fee you see all their assets liabilities and credit rating.

So, Freddo, who impersonated Obama for the "not so shovel ready" comment, was that Cheney, or Boooooooooosh?
 
So all those tax cuts...I would bet everything I own that the money went to some corporate heads and they spent it on fine dining and hotels. That's where that money went.

Interesting observation. As someone who has an advanced degree I too can sense what the common man wants, and that gives me pause. Millennials ago Plato wrote The Republic and long long ago recognized the common man lacked the right stuff to be a Philosopher King (aka a President).

Demagogues are capable of leading the common man off a cliff, history proves that to be true.
