yes indeed... the trickle down crap aka "voodoo economics" promoted by Raygun is a continual failure but like the definition of insanity, "lets keep trying it over and over again Here in LA also the same result under Bobby Jindal, what an idiot. Even his republican colleagues did not go along with his draconian proposal to eliminate state income taxes and replace it with sales taxes, which of course is regressive and mainly effects the poor and lower class... but he did manage to give massive tax breaks to the wealthy which resulted in massive state budget deficits where hospitals and education have been on the chopping block... Bobby Jindal was such a failure with his republicanomics that this deep red state actually elected a Dem Gov Also WI is another example of a "failure of laboratory experiment" of conservative economics... while next door MN with a Dem Gov has had much more positive effects by raising taxes on the wealthy, not cutting them... it's not exactly rocket science

It is not only Kansas. Wisconsin, for example. Or Oklahoma.

Kansas is a good example of an approach that has been tested. You'd think we could get an objective assessment of the results and learn from it. I've been following PPACA for nearly a decade now. There are no recognized criteria by which to judge it. Opponents are still slinging the same arguments back and forth as when it was a gleam in Obama's eye. Those who claim success speak only to the number of insured as though that were the be all and end all. And here we are going to dump it and do something different not based on results but on those original arguments. No way to run a country.
