No More Free 'Ride'?

 I sat this morning reading over a curious change in one German state. In Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.....the folks who get the welfare check (the citizens' allowance)....will now have to work part-time if they want to to continue to receive the full amount of monthly benefits. 

The original aim?  For a while, it was aimed in the draft form ONLY for asylum seekers.

The CDU analyzed it and said...why not for everyone?

Odds of a court-response?  Oh I give it a 99-percent  chance.

But if you asked working-class Germans....this is an idea that they all wanted.  

Now, what kind of 'duty' will you get?  Unknown.  

This ending up being busy-work?  From an American prospective?  Yeah.
