The latest step in Disaster Capitalism in BrownKochistan [View all]

http://www.thekansan.com/article/20130216/NEWS/130219396

If this bill passes, it will essentially de-fund the 10-year transportation plan to help fill the massive budget hole that has been created by Governor Brownback's tax cuts for the wealthy. In other words, it will eliminate a program that will create a confirmed 175,000 middle class jobs over 10 years to pay for a tax cut that MIGHT create 33,000 jobs by 2020. Does this sound like a good idea to you?
