The Washington Post recently highlighted the economic divergence between California and Kansas. California is tied, with Oregon, for the fastest growth in the nation with 4.1 percent gross domestic product growth in 2015. Kansas was flat, at 0.2 percent, and the second half of the year recorded negative growth, placing the state in recession. Only West Virginia, Alaska and North Dakota performed worse.
The Reich Wing will respond by saying their state's poor growth rate was because of the ACA, or Benghazi, or Ebola, or Zika.

Hopefully, the tide is turning, but the fight is far from over.
