How has the state destroyed itself? Most of the debt is from the bank bailouts during the 2008 financial crisis (debt quadrupled between 2007 and 2013)

> Government is giving free houses, money to people who don't work [...] and people make a lifestyle out of living on welfare forever

This is just the usual blah blah moaning about welfare states in general. What do you mean by "unlimited dole"?




Unlimited weekly money of €250 for people who don't work. This isn't a small amount. Specially on top of free housing by schemes like HAP. That can give as much as €2000/month in rent

End result is a destroyed housing market and young people who rather get trapped into welfare


There are housing crises in cities all over Europe and the US


there is no welfare trap.


Free houses sounds very unlimited to me.
