Wat to see where the economics of the U.S. is headed. Look at Brownback's Kansas.

snip:

In 2012, the Kansas legislature cut individual tax rates by 25 percent, and repealed the state tax on sole proprietorships. In 2013, state lawmakers voted to cut taxes even more by gradually lowering tax rates over the next five years. Governor Brownback strongly supported these efforts to cut their way to a stronger economy. Here are five charts that show how well that's going.

Disaster.

I lived in Kansas when Brownback first emerged and I was not impressed with him then. Somehow when it comes to putting him in office, Kansas can't do it enough.

Tom Cotton reminds me of Brownback a bit. I always think that people will see through their BS, and so far I have been wrong every time.
