Yes, I am assuming that there are needs to be filled. Is this incorrect? Does not people want stuff, also in Spain?
The limits on how much can be fished is a good point (but I assume the limits is in place to avoid over-fishing, which would result in no fish at all).
Stating that jobs don't exist until they are created may not help unemployed people, but I still believe it to be true.

And I bet that once somebody getting those 400 euros a month decides to take that risk, they will not be entitled the support money anymore.

Of course, but in any case, someone who lives off welfare doesn't have the money to start a business. The only option is to ask a bank for money, and they won't give you shit if you're living off welfare.

Some business require money to start, some don't. Starting some kinds of business look pretty much like getting a job. (But then, there are also certainly laws in place that put a few barriers on starting those last one.)
Second, jobs don't exist until they are created; saying that they could be created doesn't help unemployed people. Someone has to take the (sometimes very high) risk.
