[quote=old colonel]....Bill....the state is not in the meltdown you seem to imply.

Tax reductions do not automatically equal prosperity anymore than rain follows the plow. They can undoubtedly yield potential benefit in fueling growth, economies are unfortunately more complex than simple liberal or conservative economics would sell in sound bites to voters

Yes the tax reductions in Kansas failed to yield the promised results, but the more likely culprit is a flat to declining ag economy than the cuts themselves. As for increasing the state’s debt, no such thing has happened..../quote]

Interesting observations oc. What I'd hope is that regardless of political rhetoric or actual result, it shouldn't be lost on anyone that the state taxpayers look to have been able to determine the use of more money that only they themselves earned.
