cows and kids

“The Swiss spend as much annually on subsidising three cows as they do on primary schooling for one child. That, at least, is the conclusion of one of the country’s leading economics professors. Silvio Borner, head of Basel University’s department of applied economics, calculated that a single Swiss cow costs SFr4,000 in government subsidies, while the bill for keeping a child in primary school for one year is SFr12,000.” source: swissinfo.org
