At least nationally the recession was over. Apparently for Kansas as well, either already over or at least just ending. The labor force started growing in 2010, the unemployment rate dropped all through 2010 (maybe before but the chart doesn't go back before Jan 2010. Gross state product dropped from 2008 to 2009, but increased to 2010, then to 2011, and since. tradingeconomics.com wichitaliberty.org Compare to 46th Governor of Kansas Assumed office January 10, 2011 en.wikipedia.org Also if the recession had still been around that provided a counter-cyclical stimulus argument for the tax cuts in addition to the arguments for supply side economic benefits. Of course states, with restrictions on or outright state constitutional prohibition against deficits, can't so easily attempt deficit related counter-cyclical stimulus.
