All babies born on December 31 will have the same first name. I forget what it is but I think it means "little selfish bastard" in German.
They are having to pay their citizens to procreate? What a crock of sh*t.
Ah! Sweet Socialism! Germans have brought it to perfection.
My second child was born on New Year's eve, at 11:20 in the afternoon. He was two weeks late. In fact the pediatrician said he was two weeks old at birth, with long hair and finger nails that needed trimming but absolutely healthy. He had three month colic that lasted 2 1/2 months. Now he's a geologist who also plays banjo professionally. Don't know what that has to do with this thread but I'm really proud of him.
In light of current demographic trends, such plans are understandable, and probably even reasonable. Even though they are well-intentioned, the problem will be that the 'Germans' most likely to take advantage are those who don't need any encouragement to have children in the first place; i.e. the Muslim population.
Kleinselbstsüchtigbastard.......
LOL!
What are they going to have to pay them to do in the future? What a bunch of nanny-staters.
In game in Germany, "Banging for Bucks"
They should lower the tax rates and make having a family more affordable. In liue of that, lower the taxable income on those with more than two children and heavily tax those with none.
That would be hard to write on a birth certificate........
It's a pretty hefty payout. Taxpayers gotta love it. < /s >
Maybe if their taxes were lower, they wouldn't need to work two jobs to cover expenses to pay for a child.
They'll just do it with a stamp:
KSSB
I don't disagree with your assessment, its just that I can understand the action in light of the desperate demographic situation. Clearly, its a bandaid on a gunshot wound, and what really needs to be addressed is their entire economic/govt system, and immigration policies. As it is, they've chosen an easier solution, though in the end it likely won't be any solution at all.
Sounds like 3rd and 4th generation welfare recipients. This is just beyond ludicrous. God is gone from Germany. Now the government is their god. God said go and multiply, now the government is going to pay you to do it. I like God's way better.
Or nickname....Schweinhund!.......
A smart idea.
Wasn't that the "safety word" from Euro Trip?
Good for you!
