This was the plan all along: Just a few years ago, Kansas Republican Gov. Sam Brownback wanted to show the world how great trickle-down economics could be, and now that his experiment blew up in his face, he admits he may need to start slashing funding for education to make up for it. But don’t worry, education wasn’t his first choice, he already plundered pensions and infrastructure. Someone really needs to get around to explaining to Republican politicians that trickle-down economics doesn’t work. As if we needed further proof (and we really, really didn’t), tax slashing “superstar” Sam Brownback has boldly led his state’s economy into the gutter at a time when the American economy as a whole is starting to warm up. It has gotten so bad that Brownback almost lost his reelection bid, despite running in conservative Kansas in the midst of a Republican midterm landslide. Dodging that embarrassment, Brownback now faces the consequences of his tax cut experiment: A $1.1 billion budget deficit and no way to pay for it.
