i can only talk about germany, but there you have a minimum total of like 900 euro. if you earn with your full time job only 750 Euro, the government pays you 150 Euro on top. and that money comes from the other tax payers. and no one has a look if the company that employs this person makes profit and if they could afford to pay him 900 Euro. and that is nuts - because it gets abused all the time.

"absurd" is probably not the right word, I would call it "unfortunate" that the economic conditions are what they are...
I think it would be more appropriate to use "absurd" to describe a policy that forces employers to pay 900 for a job that is worth only 750...
either way, it doesn't matter, there is probably no right answer... political discussions like these could go on for pages, people who were "left" leaning, will continue to lean left, while "right" leaning people will continue to do the same... going back to work, see you guys in the next thread
