Italy Starts Handing Out Free Money

https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articl...free-money

"The country clearly needs to help its poor. About one-fifth of its citizens are at risk of poverty, according to the country’s statistics agency, and one in 10 lives with serious deprivation. This is worse than in 2008, when the figures stood at 18.9 percent and 7.5 percent respectively. Previous center-left governments passed a different support scheme, but it was far smaller than Five Star’s program."

I like how you conveniently left this out...

"Five Star’s “citizens’ income” has noble aims, but it risks getting bogged down by its own complexity and the country’s famously inefficient bureaucracy."

it's in the fk'n headline....

we're at 14.8% poverty rate BEING the richest country with 6x the folk in Italy....yet we spend more than we take in with a monster interest payment each month....

this is why you never argue macro economics with a democrat or on a bbs....

PUT UP ANOTHER TENT WHILE WE BUILD THE DAYUM WALL

So they are starting their version of welfare, and you have to have lived in Italy at least 10 years to get it?
