Street corners would be full of people begging for money...after having spent most of their “income” on drugs, jewelry, booze, sex, dvd’s, TV’s, phones....then screaming and hollering that $16K isn’t enough.

Yep. They'd go through money instantly, and be in the exact same situation they were before. Most of them, anyway.

But by all means, if Germany wants to try it, let them. But you'd have to let it run like that for about 3 generations to really see the effect on the human psyche.
