From what I remember reading about the Swiss giveaway, some thought that it would actually save money overall because people would get this money, but the plan was to cut away welfare and other social services at the same time. The reduction of administrative costs and govt inefficiencies would be saved.
That is an interesting notion, but it seems that there is no plan for those who will inevitably blow all their free money on possessions, drugs, gambling ETC. and still need to eat, be clothed, housed, buy cable TV (like most welfare recipients do) ETC.
I hope that they actually pass this new law because it is very interesting. Assuming enough people don't just waste the money and still need the govt cheese this could actually transform a society.
