Want a shoot from the hip definition of insanity? Doing the same thing, over & over, while expecting a different outcome [View all]

While this post is more than a little late, coming to the party, I offer an explanation for the delay.
Namely, after the abject failure of the Kansas experiment, who in their right mind would
have thought the dimwits would have tried the same thing on a national level?
Well at least we no longer have to worry about how this bit of repeat stupidity is going
to turn out......for Nebraska, and the country, as a whole.

"THE ISSUE: As President Trump and the House GOP propose tax and spending plans that include sharp cuts to income taxes, it’s important to explore what happened when Kansas Governor Sam Brownback implemented similar cuts in 2012. The Brownback plan aimed to boost the Kansas economy, but instead led to sluggish growth, lower than expected revenues, and brutal cuts to government programs. The Brownback tax cuts, one of the cleanest experiments for measuring the effects of tax cuts on economic growth in the U.S., were eventually reversed by a Republican-controlled legislature as a failure."
