Complete bankruptcy of social democracy

After the election debacle due to Gabriel's legal policy, the swan song now follows with the key issues paper for a grand coalition; Even a talented rhetorician like Schulz cannot gloss over such a result: a little bit of ointment everywhere and finally you can spread the measures that should have been carried out over the last four years but were postponed in order to be able to make promises after the election.

After all, the great promise not to cut pensions. But that will only work if the government can continue to arm terrorist regimes like Israel and Saudi Arabia undisturbed. And the recipients of social grants should not imagine that jobs are permanently available for them. They have to be satisfied with their minimum wages and Hartz allowances when the short employment contracts have expired. Where would we be if the fixed-term employment contracts were lifted with the help of chain contracts. All business leaders have repeatedly praised these agenda reforms.

There is also agreement with the Merkel parties to reopen the borders and let low wage workers in if the wage increase becomes too strong. And a little climate protection, without which nothing works. But please do not jeopardize the profits of the energy and auto companies. After all, our industrial location Germany must be protected. And social housing, for God's sake, that would be an intervention in the well-functioning market economy, so just not. After all, we have the excellent law on rent brake. And it is better if Mrs. Merkel can not ascribe all the wonderful social benefits, but also the SPD can fix these on the flags. At least that's what the upper official layer looks like.

That was it with the Social Democrats; after two more leaden Merkel years, the FDP is ready to bring “Germany forward” with its neoliberal recipes that no longer fit our times. But who should stop them after the bankruptcy of the Social Democrats?
