Another one is here:

But what you left out, is that some places that control spending and taxes, are the places where people are moving to (NC, TX, GA, SC, FL). OH cut taxes, and the jobs are coming in. In NJ, Christie forced the unoins to accept cuts, and people still apply for open teaching positions.

Cutting taxes doesn't have a 100% success rate, as the KS story tells us. But the liberal model of tax and spend without any restriuctions? Where has that worked? Doesn't it have a zero success rate in this country?

Neither extreme works all the time. But there are generalizations, I think, we can make about what states are doing well, and which are circling the drain. i don't think Spence or Nebe would like the honest facts that would come to light as part of that conversation.
