The tax-and-spend ways of the Kansas legislature over the last three years has been a serious drag on private-sector GDP growth over the last three years. Real (inflation-adjusted) GDP data released last week by the Bureau of Economic Analysis shows private-sector growth of just 3.9% for the 3-year period ended September 20, 2019, and only 0.7% for the 12-month period ended the same date. Kansas is ranked #45 on both time frames. Only West Virginia, South Dakota, Iowa, Michigan, and Delaware posted lower growth over the last 12 months.
