Spain is celebrating national elections soon and the 2nd most important party on the left wants to give 20,000 euros to everyone turning 18 to study, train or set up a business.

That is 10.1 billion Euros within 1 year.

Giving 10.1 billion Euros within 1 year to all turning 18 is double the 5.4 billion Euros budget allocated to Spain's public health system for 2022.

Giving 20,000 Euros within 1 year to all turning 18:

- Represents giving them 72% of the GDP per capita.

- It's roughly equivalent to Spain's gross median salary. They would get it for doing nothing.

What do all the people working hard, waking up early and going to bed late to make ends meet think about this?

With this proposal, the Spanish government will print out of thin air an additional 10.1 billion Euros every year.

What will that do to the Euros in your pocket? You know the answer....

Inflation.

Make your dollars worth nothing.

Then they own you.

My limited-in-scope survey says hard working Spaniards are incredulous.

Might be just my family, who knows…

My parents were livid

Did not have much time to discuss this with my mom the other day, but one thing she was asking herself is “where does all this money come from?”

Some people are starting to question (to a limited extent) the soundness of the system.

Please can you share your source?

My memory is vague on this, but the following comes to mind.

A mayor, Washington DC, creates city jobs for all 18 y/o

Arrested and spent jail time for something. But they voted for him. Even after his incarceration.

Maybe in the late 80' or 1990's.

It’s crazy what people will do

That's been one of the most disheartening inherent incentives in our political system.

Political tactic to get votes....promise a specific demographic some "free" sh!t. That demo is guaranteed to vote for you.

Folks fail to realize or make the connection, nothing is free.

Nothing is free. Never.
