by Martin Armstrong, Armstrong Economics<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Italy\u2019s new PM Giorgia Meloni revealed her first economic initiatives with a budget of 21 billion euros. The Italian government will no longer provide free handouts to those who simply refuse to work. This should not be controversial.<\/p>\n For starters, anyone eligible for welfare must actually reside in Italy. Those capable of working will have eight months to find employment before their free paycheck runs out. Alternatively, if someone refuses a job, they will be excluded from receiving welfare. The 5-Star\u2019s citizens\u2019 wage will be abolished by next year as the system has been abused by many who simply do not want to work. They are reviewing the pension system as well, but it\u2019s too late to save the pension funds.<\/p>\n
