August Job Losses in Kansas Leave Republicans Baffled: Promises of Sunshine and Utopia Fade

[UCmeNdc]

The Kansas Department of Labor Report for August tells us that too many Kansans don't need to be told any different; far too many of them received pink slips that leave them wondering first hand where the booming Kansas economy went.

Since last month, Kansas declined by 2,000 seasonally adjusted private sector jobs, or 0.2 percent. The state lost 3,000 seasonally adjusted total nonfarm jobs, or 0.2 percent since July 2015.


This comes on top of roughly 5,100 in job losses in the July cycle. But what happened? Why has Utopia not materialized in Kansas?


Republican leadership and policies!

1. 11 years after the publication of "What's the Matter with Kansas?" ...

these Republican voters aren't the sharpest tools in the shed.

7. Truly a great book. N/t

[Warpy]

2. Yet those dogma addled morons will never realize that maybe their policies have been wrong.

They'll just try to tweak (translation: change the language or other window dressing) their policies and keep on doing the same stupid, destructive things in absolute certainty that if they're done long enough, they'll create prosperity for all.

I haven't heard much from Kansans about the mathematician who's proving the vote got diddled in favor of the Koch back candidates. I do hear even sweet little schoolteachers use a lot of rude words when they talk about Brownback.

8. From what I have heard, I imagine a lot of judges and court workers will soon be losing their jobs

in Kansas as well

[ibegurpard]

9. Going as planned

Desperate people with no social safety net will work for peanuts. That's the reality of the Kansas experiment...it has yet to play out completely.

11. discredited economic theories once again show why they are discredited.

12. They had there chance in 2014 to vote Democratic

The Governor had low approval ratings and the state decided to stick with him.
