> 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.
