What is your reaction to today's German spending plan?
Just a few hours ago, the CDU, SPD and the Greens agreed to amend the constitution that would allow the government to spend up to a trillion euros on infrastructure, climate and defense. As a follower of German politics (but nowhere as knowledgeable as you guys), I hear that this is very significant as the debt brake has prevented Germany from making necessary investments in its economy, and that the parties wanted to push the bill before the new Bundestag is sworn in. And to my knowledge, after the legislature (Bundestag+Bundesrat) passes the amendments, German Constitutional Court still needs to decide whether the outgoing parliament is allowed to amend the constitution. But my question to you guys is in what will the extra government spending affect your daily lives, and what do you hope it achieves?
