First step by Merz should be a 50% reduction in salary and pension for every single govt employee. That would at least demonstrate that he was incentivizing his fellow public servants to run a tighter ship, for their own benefit if nothing else.
This is Europe. The serfs exist to serve their lords.

Probably won't happen. They'll choose the route of tyranny once again.

The problem is, the people who work so the government can provide freebies hasn't been mad enough about it. Maybe that will change now.
It also needs to change here. Leeches have a hot temper when you remove the blood supply. The host has been being drained and remained quiet for long enough.

Shutting down significant parts of their economy due to "climate change," didn't help also.

And we can no longer finance their national defense....
It was a great ride for Germany. Maybe minimal defense expense and they charge us for bases we have in Germany. Basically charging us to defend them.

Think of the children man. STD needs stimmies and low interest to make his nut.

We were funding it...via USAID. Now that Trump has cut that gravy train, they must reassess everything.
