What the Republicans have done to Kansas should be all over the news every day. [View all]

The Republican default approach to governing has been to cut taxes on the wealthy and wait for the magic bean sprouts to grow. That approach is a proven failure. Why then, when I bring up the Kansas economic train wreck, do I get blinking incomprehension from my (admittedly few) Republican friends?

Until the mess they've made of things in Kansas with their unfettered winger approach is common knowledge, we are at risk of more of the same, eventually.

Tell the damned truth, CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, Faux. Do your damned job!
