EVIDENCE MEANS SOMETHING:
Please clap: Kansas jobs are up but so is unemployment rate (YAEL T. ABOUHALKAH, 7/22/16, Kansas City Star)
[K]ansas had the seventh worst job growth rate in the country from June 2015 to June of this year at a puny 0.2 percent.The state has been among the bottom 10 in the nation for adding jobs in much of the last year, along with North Dakota, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Alaska and Louisiana, among others. [...]Summed up, the promises by Brownback that his 2012 tax cuts were going to stimulate a strong surge in employment haven't come true, even while dozens of other states are doing far, far better than Kansas. The Brownback claim that the national economy is dragging down the Kansas economy looks pretty weak, given the impressive job gains in states such as Utah, Oregon and California.
