Kansas governor Sam Brownback: "Reality is a liberal plot! Everything is just great!"

Paraphrased obviously.
But not by much.

Sam Brownback: Anti-Choice Laws A Boon For Kansas's Economy

Submitted by Brian Tashman on Tuesday, 3/17/2015 10:45 am

Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is facing a series of bad economic news as a result of his radical economic “experiment”: sluggish job growth, an exploding deficit, credit rating downgrades, inadequate pension and education funding, just to name a few. In fact, budget pressures have become so severe that Brownback recently had to reverse his no-new-taxes pledge.

But none of this seems to have bothered Family Research Council President Tony Perkins, who hailed Brownback’s experiment on last weekend’s edition of “Washington Watch,” telling the Republican governor that his anti-abortion rights policies deserve some credit in shaping the state’s (mythical) economic success.

Brownback agreed, telling Perkins that his decision to sign around a dozen “pro-life bills” is part of the reason that his state is growing.

This doesn't give a good opinion of Brownback or the Family Research Council.
