The Dangerous Rise of Government Dependence (Special Guest Doug Holtz-Eakin)

The debate over socialism is no longer theoretical. It's unfolding in America's largest city. In this episode of Allen Jackson Now, Pastor Allen Jackson welcomes former Congressional Budget Office Director Doug Holtz-Eakin to discuss declining workforce participation and the growing popularity of socialist policies. They examine New York City's policy experiment under Mayor Zohran Mamdani, including taxpayer-funded grocery stores, rent freezes, and government price controls. Pastor Allen explains why Scripture consistently presents work as honorable and essential to human flourishing. As the culture increasingly looks to government for solutions, we are called to model responsibility, instead of entitlement and dependence.
