• Cost-of-living escalators in government contracts and pensions.
• Free university tuition for unemployed workers after six months of unemployment, provided that they are under 30 years old and have had five or more years of full-time work experience since high school.

Why these 2 can not be automatic stabilizers? What specifically disqualify them?
