In this Thursday, Jan. 12, 2017 photo, Marcellius Bell poses for a photo in the House gallery at the state Capitol in Oklahoma City. President-elect Donald Trump and congressional Republicans have pledged to cut federal taxes to boost the economy. But some GOP-controlled states have already adopted similar strategies, only to see growth falter and budget gaps widen. “Every time the government wants to cut,” said Bell of Oklahoma City, who serves as legal guardian for three adults with severe developmental disabilities, “it seems like they cut services to the disabled, the veterans and the nursing homes.” (AP Photo/Sue Ogrocki)
