[b]Finland Launches Basic Income Experiment[/b]

Quote
Finland has become the first country in Europe to pay its unemployed citizens a basic monthly income, amounting to 560 euros ($782 Canadian), in a unique social experiment which is hoped to cut government red tape, reduce poverty and boost employment....
Those chosen will receive 560 euros every month, with no reporting requirements on how they spend it. The amount will be deducted from any benefits they already receive.
This is the sort of progressive program which I like to see --- scientific, experimental studies to see what actually happens, rather than the endless political dogma rants which are so common in the USA.

Once, weapons were manufactured to fight wars; today, wars are manufactured to sell weapons

It is far easier to deceive folks than to convince them they are deceived
