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.
Even more damning, Moore has been completely oblivious to this reality and has continued to insist that the Brownback tax cuts are working exactly as advertised. First, the CBPP outlines the case that Brownback’s tax cuts have been a fiscal calamity for the state that also haven’t spurred a promised economic growth explosion.
Among other things, “total employment in Kansas has risen only 2.4 percent, compared to 6.5 percent nationally” since the tax cuts went into effect. Additionally, “the state’s economy has grown less than half as fast as the national economy; Kansas’ gross domestic product (GDP) grew 4.3 percent from the end of 2012 through the end of 2015, while national GDP rose 11.5 percent.”
