The key point is that Germany has finally loosened the debt brake, which has particularly strained the social system and infrastructure. In addition to the 1,000 billion euros allocated for social welfare and infrastructure, another 600 billion euros are designated for the military. The former is linked to the tense situation in social systems and the associated right-wing shift in Europe, while the latter is connected to the ongoing fascist counter-revolution in the USA.
Since the USA and companies based there are no longer reliable partners, Europe will stand alone in the future. This means that France and Germany are working together on a joint nuclear defense shield to ensure Europe's security and strengthen NATO's eastern borders.
That remains to be seen. Inflation will grow and the average worker will have to shoulder even more. Most of that money will be used to fill holes in collapsing social security systems anyway.
Problem for the military is that money doesn't buy soldiers anymore for the most part and very few like to pursue a military career.
> 1,000 billion euros allocated for social welfare
No, the money is definitely not meant for social programs, neither for affordable housing.
On the contrary, the debt brake was introduced to justify cutting social spending after the 2008 banking crash.
Social spending is still limited, debt financed military spending however is unlimited.
The money will go into fortifying bridges, roads for Truppentransporte, programs to protect civilians from disasters, emergencies, and armed conflicts. Military Keynesianism.
The political class is now debating ways to increase pressure on the population.. higher VAT, deregulate working hours, dropping public holidays, re-activate mandatory military service etc.
It depends on how SPD vs. CDU. For now they say its infrastructure and social.
Never the less, we should tax the rich and not talk about having a public holiday less.
