Top 10 Ways Federal Dependency Made Kentucky the Worst State

Kentucky looks cheap. That’s the trap. Behind the low home prices and “simple living” image is a state where local economies collapsed — and were replaced by federal money. In this video, we break down how Kentucky became one of the most federally dependent states in America, why welfare and disability replaced wages in entire regions, and how coal’s collapse was never followed by real economic recovery. This isn’t about blaming residents. It’s about explaining why Kentucky stopped functioning like an economy and started operating like a funding model. You’ll learn: Why federal aid became Kentucky’s main economic engine How government dependence killed local jobs and business growth Why hospitals, schools, and infrastructure survive only on federal funding Why young workers leave — and rarely come back If you’re thinking about moving to Kentucky, retiring here, or just want to understand why some states never recover, this video lays it out clearly.
