Kansas Can Barely Pay It's Bills

[Synthaholic]

How is the liberal paradise Detroit doing with its bills?

It's been run by Republicans for years, dope.

Looks like we need my plan

-Raise minimum wage to $23.50/hr. Based on where minimum wage should be using 1970-2013 rise in food, shelter, and transportation.

Your "plan" is FAIL from the start.

You won't need to jack up the minimum wage if you flood the country with Illegal Aliens willing to work for cheap. A Corporations Wet Dream!

Besides, the Minimum Wage has been increasing steadily since it was implemented. Has it EVER, at ANY time been a viable, living wage?

No.

Minimum wage is the base for all wages. Prices from 1970 to today have increased dramatically. Wages haven't kept up with that increase.

Kansas is a four time loser. It's flat, ugly, infested with republicans, and the home of the koch bros.

I thought all tax cuts pay for themselves?

It is in the GOP playbook

Never in the 6000 year history of the planet has that happened, but the RWnuts believe it anyway.

Detroit has been Democrat controlled for about 40 years idiot.

Has Kansas cut the State Budget? At ANY time? In any place of Government?

You see, when the State Government receives less Tax money from year to year that means they have to spend LESS money!

Sorta' like when your paycheck gets reduced, YOU have to spend less!

What a concept!

What should they cut, police, fire, public works? I love it when you 'spend less' guys don't give complete answers. You sound like GOP contenders......

It only works when you are talking to people with complete understanding. Police and fire protection is mostly provided by local government, and paid for with local taxes.

We saw the 'Conservative' version of paradise in 1929 and 2008.

State pensions are going to drag a lot of states under. Wall Street really fucked over the common man in many ways, and state pensions are but one of those ways. Your taxes are going to go up to cover the giant ripoff Wall Street perpetrated.

Wall Street promised higher than average ROI for state pension funds out beyond the horizon, and convinced the states they did not need to contribute as much as they used to. They also encouraged the belief that states could increase the benefits to state pensioners since ROI would be higher.

Now comes the Great Hangover.

Not only is ROI not going to be above average, it is going to be way below average, and has been for some time.

Whoa whoa whoa. Those ROI's were not promised by wall street. they were figured out by the pension funds themselves so they didn't require increased contributions from the general funds. If they promised higher ROI's the states could shunt the required by law contributions to other things.

California is a prime example of this.

-Raise minimum wage to $23.50/hr. Based on where minimum wage should be using 1970-2013 rise in food, shelter, and transportation.

-Eliminate all business subsidies (deductions/write-off’s/write-downs) except for employee expenses which are deducted dollar-for-dollar on all city, state, and Federal taxes and fees with the Feds refunding city, State, and fees.

-Companies with 300 employees or less, employee expenses above the deduction are subsidized at 100% with funds usually give back to the States.

-Adjust Social Security and private/public retirement and pension payments using 1970-2013 price structure. Remove the FICA limit.

-Back down ALL costs, prices, fees, to January 1, 2009 levels and hold them for 10 years which will eliminate inflation.

-Recall ALL off-shore investments tax free, and disallow any further off-shore investments.

Price controls do not work. Communists and socialists have failed every time doing this. You plan wouldnt work.

Actually you didn't what you saw in 2008 was the end result of policies started in the Clinton administration and continued by the Bush administration.

 

[Mr Natural]

I wonder why Kan has apparently seen so little growth. Seriously.

Maybe because there's nothing there.

 

[Soggy in NOLA]

It's all Bush's fault.

 

[NYcarbineer]

You would think after decades of never growing a beanstalk, Conservatives would stop buying and planting magic beans.

[ObamaHaterLogic]Yeah, but there has been a Republican in charge since Snyder was elected in 2010.

Why hasn't he fixed it yet? [/ObamaHaterLogic]

Export controls do.

Liberal response when you can refute the facts double down on the stupid. Snyder is the state governor Detroit is a city in the state running a city is done by the mayor, city manager, and city council of the city not the state governor.
