"Never before in state history has a state agency been granted unlimited powers to issue debt. Prior to this extraordinary action, state lawmakers had carefully placed specific limits on the state’s ability to borrow money. KDOT’s authority to issue unlimited debt continues through this fiscal year and next, so additional highway bonds could be issued at any time over the next 18 months."

In Kansas if you lower the increase to the schools you have “cut school funding.” There is nothing the media in Kansas can say that I would trust. I trust Brownback more than any of the partisans in the media.

Tax cuts are not a “cost,” so there is no need to “pay for them.”

In terms of the budgetary impact, governments always take in MORE revenue after they cut taxes!

Right-wing Republican lawmakers have operated under the radar to suspend all statutory limits on highway debt, and that unprecedented authority was recently used to issue record-breaking levels of long-term debt to pay for their reckless income tax cuts this year and next.

Is this supposed to be "journalism" or a biased hatchet job? Also, the Kennedy and Reagan tax cuts so stimulated the economy that tax receipts actually increased. The Laffer Curve suggests the same result. Hopefully, this Left-winged idiot at least drops the pretense of being a journalist.

Sounds like they have a spending problem

Spending money you don’t have is okay, but tax cuts are “reckless.”

Uh huh.
