Pretty much what I am saying in my comment above.  It is very short-sighted policy but it is also very populist.

I mean, I try very hard to see the big picture but at the same time living on 974 USD a month which has just now broken over the 700 euro mark this week.

That's going to be the conundrum, imho - personal economics over the general welfare.
