Governor Says Solutions to Kansas Problems Are Cultural and Moral and Come from Hearts Alive with a Loving God
January 14, 2015 by Rachel Ford 0 Comments
After a first term of stewardship that has left Kansas with a nearly $900 million budget hole, largely because of tax cuts that were supposed to generate revenue that never came in, Governor Sam Brownback (R) was sworn in to a second term on Monday. And his inaugural speech indicates that he is in no hurry to shake the wishful thinking that has already contributed to his states woes.
He says too many people have not progressed in recent years because of a slowly growing economy or overly paternalistic big government.
Brownback says solutions to problems facing the state are principally cultural and moral, not as dictated by government but emitting from our hearts alive with a loving God.

The people of Kansas didn't care enough to do that, so here we are.

wanted to be president of the US.

Outsourcing to a god! Love it!
...But Brownback seemed to miss the memo that the governor should see value in governing rather than just outsourcing his states problems to a god, along with the memo that the governor isnt supposed to be a state-sponsored preacher. As far as he was concerned, faith and (presumably, his) morals were where the future lies.
We should be talking about things like character and courage, faith, freedom, sacrifice of self, morals, obligations and responsibilities, he said.
