I don’t get this either.
Do they have a budget surplus where they have the money to pay these people to “work off” their tax obligations or are they going to raise taxes on them again to fund this program for them to work off?
It sounds to me like they are replacing people that currently hold those positions with these senior citizens that are undoubtedly doing the same job for much cheaper wages! This is mind-boggling - soon the government will own all of the people AND their property...
Oh yeah, I guess that's the point.
