We really lose the plot. This is what we were talking about at Coffee with the Mayors. I really feel like we're losing the plot because if we can provide these, and we're using SSI as an example if we can provide SSI to those who need it and then incentivize people to work, we could pave the way for a brighter future for all.
Ever felt trapped by a system that's supposed to help you? In this episode of Diagnonsense, Kurt and Isaac dive headfirst into the murky waters of social welfare reform.
