It’s The Economy (In Kansas), Stupid!

Governor Sam Brownback of Kansas
As we sit on the verge of another Presidential campaign, the fundamental consideration before Americans is how it will affect the state of the U.S. economy and consequently our daily lives.

Many pundits (most notably those of the Conservative persuasion) frequently point out that the individual states are a laboratory for policy prescriptions before they are adopted on a national level.

With that in mind, it is an object lesson in policy to look at the experience of the state of Kansas. Since the election of a conservative legislative majority and a staunch conservative governor, Sam Brownback, in 2010, it has adopted a full blown commitment to the principles of supply-side economics.
