    Given choice, they elected Brownback twice. And he was blinded by ambition, he says, until he found his faith, another Jesus of America who somehow interprets Christianity as a religion that instructs you to give cash money to the well off and gouge the poor. Root, hog or die.

    What is there to say? That’s a damning investigation but being in print, it obviously will have little effect. The state power structure weathers bad news well. Criticism doesn’t work. Reality means zip.

    Here’s a state, the story indicates, with a population that’s 20 percent of LA County. There’s no reasoning or explanation in the world that can be twisted into telling a story that will end well.
    But Sam Brownback and his followers go on and on, needing the only the occasional $15,000 / hr pep talk from the quack economist.

    We have a political party that, even as it squawks about “personal responsibility,” has convinced itself that it can have government and government services at no cost.
