This ought to really attract the parasitic Muslims, eh?

The whole Western world, Europe first, is determined to commit suicide.

With the Muslim invasion of Europe now underway they should use that money to give each citizen $2,500 worth of a rifle, ammo, body armor, and webgear.

This is the first sign that the collapse will occur this year.

Bullets and bacon, folks. Bullets and bacon.

Monetary policy does not work.

You cannot print pieces of paper and have that change actual economic conditions.

So they’ll hand out X number of dollars/francs/whatever with one hand, and then take back MORE, from those who still work, with the other hand. Oh brother...that’s really gonna work.....NOT!

OMG - you simply cannot have what amounts to a welfare state AND allow hordes of leeches and interlopers to come into the country ... impossible.

If the SWISS people go for this AND allow hordes to come into their country from places like Somalia and such, that is the END of a great European nation and people.

Please - please Trump save America from this maddess!

Cost if the US did this: $619,237,500,000

247,695,000 adults (15+ yrs) x 2500

If done in the USA, that would cost nearly $10T per year.

Nuts economically -— and Just in time to pay for the Muslim islamonazi invasion and takeover of Switzerland. Appears there’s more holes in the heads of Swiss politicians these days then there is in all the cheese in Switzerland

No. I'm not Schiff. But you don't have to be him to see the fragile house of cards we have built.

Switzerland will give out money for EVERYONE? Unless you actually are creating wealth -- with capital improvements, material refinement (into products), and services -- how, exactly, does that work?

Sorry, that $10T is for everyone.

$7.5T per year if only given to adults.
Total federal revenue is $3.5T.
Won’t work.

My sister's ex husband was Swiss. I have a bad habit of involuntarily picking up accents of people that I'm conversing with that have them, and he sounded like Arnie. I had to consciously keep it in check.

He did his time in the Swiss Army. I asked him if they had to carry American Army knives. He just matter-of-factly answered 'no', with a momentarily puzzled look.

At some point the only course of action for the Swiss citizenry will be the Mussolini solution.

x12.

The 2500 is per month. If my math is correct that would be over $6 trillion dollars. About 30% of Gross Domestic Product.

I am amazed that the Swiss are even considering this idea.
Consistently rated among the most free nations in the world with per capita income ranked very high as well.
But then I read that this was an idea of Swiss “Intellectuals” and I was not surprised.

Has to start somewhere. Besides in a year we’ll tell them that, and guilt them as to why are they so cruel and cheap to limit it to $2500 a month?
