Republicans are cutting the throats of their own supporters.
MARCH 9, 2017
Vice President Mike Pence has been pushing for Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback to land a job in President Donald Trump’s administration, according to sources.
The speculation about Brownback’s future comes at a time when the state is facing major questions about its finances. Kansas faces a budget gap of roughly $1 billion through June of 2019 and must enact a new school finance formula before June 30 this year under an order by the Kansas Supreme Court.
Brownback would not confirm that he plans to remain in Kansas through the end of the legislative session.

Kansas GOP Revolts, Nearly Overturns Gov. Sam Brownback's Billion-Dollar Failed Experiment
State house votes overwhelmingly to roll back 2012 tax cuts, but override comes up short.
"... it wasn’t exactly the same set of Republicans who initially allowed Brownback near-complete freedom to create a low-tax conservative utopia."
Brownback has remained steadfast in his support for the tax cuts — supported by the anti-government radicals Charles and David Koch and their Wichita-based Koch Industries, the single largest contributors to Brownback’s campaigns. In a December interview with the Wall Street Journal, Brownback urged President Donald Trump to mimic the massive spending and tax cuts he implemented in Kansas — which have led to growing budget gaps, missed growth projections and two credit downgrades for the state.

Cutting Medicaid by $880 billion over 10 years to fund a tax cut for the rich.
$600 billion in tax cuts — tax cuts that would save the wealthiest 0.1 percent of Americans nearly $200,000 each in a single year
Members of the top 0.1 percent, who each on average make more than $3.75 million annually, would get an average tax cut of $165,090.
