The Democrat governor of Kansas broke with White House officials this week, acknowledging the likelihood of a recession hitting the United States soon.

“We have managed the budget so well that we now have done all of these things: We have paid down billions of dollars in debt, and we have still left in our ending balance a $1.5 billion surplus. And that doesn’t count the now up to $950 [million] rainy day fund,” Gov. Laura Kelly said in a speech on Monday in reference to the state’s budget.
