Actually, pretty well I would say.
Where gutting education and earned-income tax credits and losing 11% in state revenue is a sign of victory in the mind of a soulless con.
Seems their unemployment rate is down in the 4s, and the money is now flowing in to the treasury. But, if you would like to discuss California, Illinois, New Jersey, against Kansas as far as fiscal responsibility, let us have that conversation!
If we frame the debate using the convenient criteria you prefer, I'm sure it can look like Kansas is paradise by comparison. The poor, however, would see it quite differently. In any event, link your claim, and be careful the criteria used to define "employment."
Here's what's clear: Kansas, doing precisely what Jesus WOULDN'T do, butchering aid for the poor/working class and slashing state revenue for the benefit of the rich. The fallout has been a downgrade from Moody's and S&P, fiscal deficits, larger class sizes, rising fees for kindergarten, the elimination of arts programs, and lots and lots of laid-off janitors and librarians. Good job!!
Hey, how is Detroit doing by the way? Chicago?
Pretty awful, but not for the dumb partisan causes you undoubtedly attribute to them.
How is that crime rate working out for all of you in New York after Gulliani left? Hey, Baltimore looks like a liberal paradise too. It is more than obvious that states and cities that liberals have controlled forever are now collapsing. Just look at the out flow of people and business from Illinois and California.
Again, not for the dumb, paranoid partisan causes you think. I know it's easier for you trolls to go through life pretending everything bad is caused by leftists, and everything good and pure is initiated by conservatives. But the reality is FAR more complex, and not a good look at all for the selfish.
Nothing you cite there isn't easily attributable to soulless corporate business practice and widening income inequality.
And for you liberal business people, why don't you relocate to Detroit? Maybe you would like the taxes of L.A? How about one of you new start up fast food places moving to Seattle?
Libs do not have an economic leg to stand on.
Ah yes, economics... the soft science (based on a number of well-documented false assumptions) that your ilk worships with cult-like furor. Well, I can't speak for all liberals, but I do know what we Greens stand for. We DO have the ONLY legs to stand on, because we understand the Earth's natural limits and how they always trump the hollow laws of supply and demand. We don't pretend accounting tricks and financial deregulation can maintain growth for an economy. That's your team's unscientific agenda.
You explain how as a President you can spend 7 trillion in the hole, and have almost 30% of the workforce out of a job!!!!!! For 7 trillion dollars we could have purchased 1 or 2 of 15% of the countries of the world! It is absolutely ridiculous, and anyone who has been around longer than 25 years on this planet knows it.
Classic con job relying 100% upon straw-man emptiness. You spew as if Detroit and Baltimore's problems are somehow the result of "liberalism," instead of the real culprit... decades of unethical tax-dodging by corporations more interested in moving their business model overseas.
It never gets old watching you guys point to deficits and how money could be wiser spent, while you all - to a man - conveniently ignore the trillions lost to unfunded oil/pipeline/poppy wars (based on fraud), unwarranted tax cuts (but only for the rich) and the disaster that was Medicare Part D. But we understand. ... It's different when your side does it, as you'd prefer everyone to believe.
