“Every few weeks I feel it’s important to return to the ongoing disaster in Sam Brownback’s Kansas. It doesn’t get nearly as much play as it should in the media, which is unfortunate because Kansas’ experience is definitive proof of the failure of supply-side, Laffer-curve-based economic theory.”
“Most of today’s urban centers are made from two of the most environmentally damaging building materials currently in use: steel and concrete.
