Trump’s economic team is loaded with the same Tea Party cranks who destroyed Kansas’s economy

By now, we all know that Governor Sam Brownback’s Tea Party “experiment” in Kansas has been an abject failure.

Actually, scratch that: There is someone who still thinks Brownback’s Kansas disaster has been a smashing success, and he happens to be a Heritage Foundation economist who is one of Donald Trump’s top economic advisers.

As the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities documents, top Trump economics adviser Stephen Moore has been instrumental in pushing Brownback to implement budget-busting tax cuts that have perpetually crippled his state’s finances.

(snip)

This past spring, Trump asked Moore and fellow Brownback booster Larry Kudlow for help in re-writing his tax reform proposals, which he will presumably unveil on Monday afternoon. Similarly, legendary supply-side crank Arthur Laffer talked with Trump about tax policies earlier this year and said that the candidate struck him as “presidential.”

So when you watch Trump’s big speech on economics on Monday and you hear a lot about the magical effects that supply-side tax cuts have on the economy, just take a look at what’s happened in Kansas and imagine it playing out on a national level.

GOPers are bad for Kansas, and they are bad for the nation.

1. Stephen Moore, in a white suit, was on Fareed Zakaria yesterday.

He was debating Paul Krugman on economic issues. He was trying to sell the old lower-taxes-on the rich bs that has failed for 40 years. I didn't know he was a Brownback crank.

Check out the youtube--it's at about 14:42. He sure looks silly.
