Sam Brownback’s defiant trip to fantasy land is not helping Kansans

[tridim]

All of this was predicted, Kansas Republican voters were warned... They have no excuse.

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback ignored reality and entered his own self-created fantasy land Thursday night.

His defiant State of the State speech didn’t contain any real specifics on how he wants to put in place major policy changes —especially in balancing a budget that is projected to be badly out of whack for years to come because of his reckless tax cuts.

Kansans who pay taxes and expect decent basic services deserved to hear some hard truths about how the governor has damaged the state’s economy and what he and the Legislature plan to do about it.

But Brownback showed pitiful leadership in refusing to do that.

Instead, in the governor’s “it’s always sunny in Kansas” scenario:

▪ Tax cuts are not leading to massive revenue shortfalls (but they are).

▪ The state should continue its march to a zero income tax (never mind those pesky revenue woes).

1. Kansas re-elected him

I have no sympathy for anything that happens to their economy.

2. The beatings will continue until morale improves

Or the suckers wake up.

3. Sam Brownback and Kansans

That definition of insanity fits this situation.

'Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result'

And that's exactly what's happening in Kansas now!!!

4. It's not like Kansans didn't know Brownback was a buffoon.

They'll reap what they have sown.
