Mitch McConnell Admits Republicans Want Kansas’ “Conservative Hell” Enacted Nationally

"A sampling of Brownback’s agenda that Republicans at the national level want “to do here in Washington” according to the New Republic is “in the first fiscal year, enacting tax cuts that produced a staggering loss in revenue—$687.9 million, or 10.84 percent.” Brownback’s second round of tax cuts cut revenue by 45% as of June that was $92.9 million less than projected. The NR noted specifically that the nonpartisan Kansas Legislative Research Department predicts the state will be running deficits at least through fiscal year 2019 without some kind of drastic intervention. Many Kansas Republicans have been warning Brownback’s tax cuts will bankrupt the state within two years; something Mitch McConnell says is exactly the same thing Republicans want to do “when” they control the Senate.
They also noted that Moody’s and Standard & Poor’s last two credit downgrades will increase the state’s borrowing costs and further enlarge its deficit. Something Mitch McConnell promises is exactly the sort of thing Republicans want to do in Washington."
