just trying to figure out how!?!?
So where would the newly re-elected Governor going to find the money? To start with he has promised more cuts in State income taxes and exempt more businesses from paying any tax!
Happy Holidays to all Kansas State Government Employees, Teachers, Fire Fighters, Police. You may need to tighten your belt a little more! What you vote is what you get.
Next on agenda. New Jersey with its $millions in budget gap
She was recently kicked out of head of HHS (Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius). She is not too smart in the way she handled the ACA.
We are talking Kansas budget deficit and not ACA?
What was Democrat voter turnout in KS? If it was low, they deserve the pain. Kansans, you will now reap what you've sown. Now start blaming the President for the mess!

The worst state budget gimmicks of 2013
State Budget Solutions | by Joe Luppino-Esposito | January 3, 2014
State Budget Solutions has been keeping an eye on the bag of tricks employed by legislators and other budget officials. These budget gimmicks hide the true cost of government and set up states for fiscal calamity down the road. In 2013, not much has changed, though some states have attempted to fix gimmicks they employed in the past. Here are a few of the most “popular” gimmicks (and even some solutions to the gimmicks) that we’ve come across in 2013.
Underfunding pension contributions
An underfunded state pension plan has more liabilities than assets. By continually underfunding pensions, pension accounts become less stable, and there is less assurance that the state can effectively cover distribution amounts when pension benefits become due.
California has a newfound “surplus” thanks to outrageous budget gimmicks that simply ignore state debt. Rather than making the necessary payments into the state pension fund, California, as well as many other states, skip this step and claim to have a balanced budget. Manhattan Institute: Public Sector Inc., May 30, 2013.
Delaying payments until the upcoming fiscal year
Delayed payments effectively shift the burden of debt from one fiscal year until the next, to postpone payment of the debt (and potential political backlash). In the past, states delayed issuing state employee paychecks by one day, which shifted payroll costs to the next year, or postponed sales tax payments.
California's current budget is attempting to close a major gap in public school funding created by a decade-plus-long practice of delaying funds into the next fiscal year. Charter schools have been disproportionately affected by this scheme, as they have been forced to take out bridge loans, and in turn, incurring larger interest payments. Gov. Jerry Brown's 2013-2014 budget proposes repaying $1.8 billion in deferrals-but from 2009-2011, the state added $6.3 billion in delayed payments. The program began with a $1.1 billion deferrals in 2001-2002. Los Angeles Times, April 16, 2013.
eat shit and bark at the moon
Show the other red states how it's done. I don't think our nation will go that route with the tax cuts for the rich.And that Governor got re-elected. Poor people of Kansas deserve what they'll get.
1. Every single Republican POTUS ran up deficits. Most recent one borrowed money and waged two wars and promoted unfettered greed in Wall Street which collapsed the world economy. Great accomplishment indeed.
2. Same Republican POTUS inherited a balanced budget and a surplus from his Democratic predecessor.
3. The current Democratic POTUS has actually brought down deficits, improved the economy, Wall Street is at an all-time high, unemployment is at the lowest compared to the past decade and tax revenue is increasing.
So, what the fuck you are talking about with your head all the way up your ass, no rational human knows
And yet Jerry Brown has been able to turn California around in four years and we're doing great. Hm..
