Budget debate
Vice -Chancellor agrees with “uncomfortable decisions”
Unknown debt scope – and yet the federal government has to save – that is difficult to explain, says the finance minister. He tries it in the Bundestag.
Vice-Chancellor Lars Klingbeil taps the citizens of the “brave and sometimes uncomfortable decisions” of the Black and red federal government. In the budget debate in the Bundestag, he said that it had to be massively invested in the future of the country, but also saved heavily. This is difficult to explain, but necessary. “We all know that reforms are overdue, bureaucracy, the welfare state, in the economy,” said the finance minister.
There is a structural imbalance in the federal finances and billions of billions in planning for the next few years. If no solution is found for this, prosperity, security and living together endanger. “And if you think we could just continue as before, he is wrong,” emphasized the SPD boss. The welfare state must be made more efficient and future -proof. “We need reforms that put employment at the center, create new growth, create more employment that ensure that social expenditure decreases and government income is growing.”
