Germany just guaranteed unemployed citizens around $330 per month indefinitely. The policy looks a lot like basic income

That will be a great asset for the beard and burka crowd.

And even with all this spending, Germany still hadn’t hit the 2% spending requirement for its defense budget...

Hardly a windfall. Maybe electric, water and car insurance for the month maybe.

Housing and healthcare assistance will continue to be provided under the new policy.

The money is just for ‘extras’ you see.

300 (me) + 300 (wife) + 150 (child) = 750 euros a month, with rent and energy bills paid also.
I knew it. You're a socialist leech on society.

Welcome to your future Comrade.

Not realistic. Currently France is a single European country with a real military. I believe the French military is above all the rest of Europe easily.

Amazing what Germany can fund when they don’t meet the NATO 2% spending target and import cheap gas from one party state fascist Russia.

Me: Let’s say my small family gets on this:
POS lewislynn: knew it. You're a socialist leech on society.
I was asked if a family can survive on this amount so I used myself as only a hypothetical example.
I forget that there is a crazy person on this forum named lewislynn who has been stalking and personally insulting me for years.
He does it because I had sometimes posted threads about Brexit and the German economy and that is all it took to damage his psyche.

lewislynn is the leech - who hasn't donated a single dollar to FR in 21+ years.

lewislynn is also a stinking racist.
Who posted that anti-abortion Freepers are disgusting lunatic dimwits and defended McCain on Illegals.

One might think with the links I have posted about lewislynn that I bait him, so he can post made-up garbage about me and then I reply showing what a crazy POS he is. But really, I am just this happy-go-lucky-guy that is always surprised I have such a nutjob stalking me with the intense hatred of a thousand Suns. LoL!

Well what do you think of this?

For? Against? Indifferent?

I am concerned about prices going up. Because people will be staying at home rather than work crappy paying jobs. Which means wages will rise to make working worth it and thus prices will go up.

So a bad idea. Especially since there was no hard cut-off of unemployment benefits. When it ran out after 6 months people would sign-up again.

Few months ago we needed a little help with a home project and asked the young man next door for a hand. He informed us that he was “not into manual labor”.

Last week he told us he was getting an increase in his “benefits” due to being diagnosed with “bi-polar disorder”.
