YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In this clip from my call-in radio show on WYSL, I kick things off with a powerful analogy: imagine a 30-year-old who’s been coddled his whole life—then suddenly told to go out on his own. That’s how New York State treats its most vulnerable residents. The state offers just enough aid to keep people stagnant, then hits them with “benefit cliffs” that punish any progress. Make a little more money? You lose everything. There’s no plan to ween people off support or build real independence—only dependency and control. Instead of reform, we’re slashing services with no long-term solution. This system is cruel, ineffective, and broken. We need reform that encourages growth and self-sufficiency, not one that traps people in poverty.
