So ist die Lage: Deutschlands Wirtschaft, die sich einen großen Niedriglohnsektor gönnte und sich die Nachfrage nach deutschen Autos und Maschinen aus China und dem Rest der Welt besorgte, befindet sich im Koma. Denn die fetten Jahre im Export sind vorerst vorbei. Chinas Wirtschaft lahmt. Die Schwellenländer bilden als Reaktion auf den Wirtschaftskrieg neue Allianzen.
Several EU countries are now simply increasing their imports of liquefied gas from Russia instead of relying on pipeline gas. Germany is engaging in significant energy deals with Azerbaijan, despite the fact that the latter is subjecting over 100,000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh to a famine catastrophe. Meanwhile, the USA and China are also economically gearing up and promoting investments in green technologies. Additionally, there is already a fierce competition for control over data capitalism.
Olaf Scholz träumt vom Wirtschaftswunder
What, however, is the response of the federal government made up of the SPD, Greens, and FDP? In the midst of the crisis, they want to end the exceptional emergency situation that allowed them to finance investments through loans despite the debt brake.
Kanzler Olaf Scholz (SPD) verspricht ohne Ironie ein grünes Wirtschaftswunder, während Deutschland Schlusslicht beim Wachstum ist und seit Jahren wegen zu geringer öffentlicher Investitionen von der Substanz lebt. Wie soll der Umbau der Verkehrs- und Energiesysteme gelingen, was soll Menschen, die sich nach Sicherheit sehnen, Hoffnung auf ein gutes Leben machen, wenn diese Regierung alles kürzt, was nicht bei drei auf den Bäumen ist?
Everything except the armor: A special fund of over 100 billion euros was created at record speed – despite corruption in procurement. While the prices of defense stocks skyrocket, the world laughs at our railway. Was there a special fund for our schools? Especially children from poor backgrounds often had more contact with their phones than with teachers during the Corona crisis. What about hospitals and healthcare workers, for whom we once applauded on balconies? Many tenants fear additional burdens due to the heating law. There is a lack of affordable housing. Studies prove: Such austerity policies are an economic stimulus package for right-wing parties like the AfD.
Das Grünen-Lamento über die FDP
This course is economically insane. There is not a single talk show that passes without a farewell to the German economy. However, it is the same TV chatterers and editorial writers who, in recent years, cheered on the treasurer in the capital like hooligans, urging them to tighten their belts and manage the federal budget of the fourth-largest economy in the world like the cash box of a pigeon breeder association.
The Green Party’s lamentation about the alleged blackmail by the smallest coalition partner, the FDP, is dishonest. Their leading budget politicians once celebrated the debt brake. The budget is approved jointly by three parties. Robert Habeck supported this policy and opposed fair wealth and inheritance taxes. Therefore, Family Minister Lisa Paus is now experiencing embarrassment with the child basic security.
SPD, Grüne und FDP sind eine schlechte Revival-Band, die noch mal die Schröder-Fischer-Tournee aufführt: Nur ohne Gerhard, ohne russisches Gas und ohne eine linke Partei, die auf Montagsdemos die Wut der Menschen adressiert. Zeit, dass sich zumindest Letzteres ändert.
