(28,498 posts)2. And yet, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback is looking to Obamacare to solve state budget crisis
Faced with a crisis, Brownback reconsiders Obamacare
Plenty of Republican governors, including a few White House hopefuls, are facing alarming budget shortfalls right now, but no ones in worse shape than Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback (R). The far-right former senator imposed an experiment on his state, and its failed spectacularly.
Massive tax breaks Kansas couldnt afford have led to debt downgrades, weak growth, and state finances in shambles. Making matters worse, confronted with weak statewide job growth and a deepening budget shortfall, a judicial panel recently ruled that Kansas has been inadequately funding K-12 education. Brownback, not surprisingly, cant afford the fix.
How dire have things gotten for the beleaguered Republican governor? The Lawrence Journal-World in Kansas reports that Brownback is starting to reconsider his contempt for the Affordable Care Act (via Daniel Strauss).
