CannonNew York’s budget problem is actually a Medicaid problem.  In Sunday’s New York Post, I offer advice to New York Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) on how to fix a budget gap that will grow to $17 billion during his term: Gov. Cuomo can’t fix Medicaid by himself. He needs the help of Congress. There is a solution… Block grants are how President Bill Clinton and a Republican Congress reformed welfare back in 1996, to spectacular success. Welfare reform forced New York to be smarter about welfare spending, just as a block grant would force New York to rededicate Medicaid to its original mission — providing necessary medical care to the truly needy. There’s one place Gov. Cuomo can start on his own: Close the loopholes that allow well-to-do New Yorkers to f...

The same senators are also pushing to remove the current income restrictions — $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 for couples — while also removing the first-time buyer requirement. The intent of the increase, and the original credit, is to increase the demand for housing and to create a “bottom” to the housing market. The flaw of this approach is that it creates a false bottom, one characterized by government-inflated prices and not fundamentals. It was excessive government subsidies into housing that helped create the housing bubble, additional subsidies to re-inflate the bubble will only pr...

About 4 months ago the reverse mortgage commercials started coming fast and hard. I distinctly remember the morning I was watching television and both my husband and I noticed that almost every other commercial was selling a reverse mortgage. It’s like there is the sacred hour that seniors are watching television and every reverse mortgage lender in the world needs a 60 second spot during that viewing hour. I don’t watch a lot of television but at this point, I can almost narrate the reverse mortgage commercials from memory; like the syndrome your children have with their favorite movies. I believe they call that syndrome “narratum verbatim”-or at least that’s what another f...
