American South's Regional Economy Falling Behind

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Its what I have long said about underdeveloped commodity based economies. Cutting taxes makes no sense for Saudi Arabia or Kansas, since what they need to do is invest the oil/agra profits into education and infrastructure to diversify and grow their economies. Unfortunately that doesn't fit within the think tank boiler plate bs backed by trillions of dollars in special interest money and reinforced by Soviet style purification rituals. That is why we get politicians with a block of wood for a brain, who know only to spout what they are fed via soup spoon, pushing the same agenda in Kansas as they are in Ohio with little to no consideration for local context.
