It’s all part of the plan to bankrupt the state so the Kochs can swoop in and buy it for pennies on the dollar…

Looks like Gov. Brownback is following the Grover Norquist model of governance:

Grover Norquist: “My goal is to cut government in half in 25 years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.”

Looks like Gov. Brownback almost ready to drown Kansas!

IF that’s true, the thing that the Kochs don’t understand is that what’s left of Kansas, after these cuts, wont be worth a bucket of spit. When the state is truly on par with that of Somalia, whatever’s left is going to be worthless. And that’s not hyperbole - the value of most everything there will plummet. Whatever libertarian paradise they “think” is going to be created will go up in smoke.

The vicious circle, cut taxes for billionaires and corporations, complain that government is too expensive, cut taxes for billionaires and corporations… It never ends.

Brownback can ask Pennsylvania’s Gov. Corbett how that budget-slashy thing worked out. Soon to be former Gov. Corbett, I guess I should say.

Whyizzit the folks who I tend to agree with most-- TPM posters-- go all myopic when commenting about the misery they wish visited on an entire segment of people-- Kansas (D)s-- who are also in the midst of this debacle?

WTF people?

I think it was someone on this blog (sorry, I forget who) who said that Kansas will be the largest, final experiment in conservative incompetence and delusion to come about for a while. THIS will be the tangible object lesson we can point to on the GOP’s insistence on total subservience to the 1%.

It’s sad to see that it’s not only Republicans who wish suffering on those with different political ideologies than themselves.

You made Brownback your Gov. Kansas. Now you have to bend over and take the consequences.

I agree. It’s anger and frustration at the election, of course, sentiments which all of us here share. But this desire to punish indiscriminately to me reeks of Tea Partiers.

As with all conservative sh*theads, their thinking is “If we get rid of all the social programs, we get rid of the poors. When that happens, the whole state will turn into Beverly Hills in the midwest.”

Right. Let’s see what happens…
