SPD wants new debt again – when will Anke Rehlinger rein in the comrades in Berlin?

SPD wants new debt again – when will Anke Rehlinger rein in the comrades in Berlin?

It's hard to believe. German government debt is a terrible burden, yet the SPD Secretary General is calling for a further suspension of the debt brake! This is not a political alarm signal – this confirms Margaret Thatcher's thesis: "What do the socialists want? Other people's money!" In this case, the money of future generations. Anyone who, after years of economic stagnation and new record debts, still relies on living on credit, has learned nothing, absolutely nothing, from the mistakes of past years!

As FDP Saar, we can only shake our heads about this. This policy is especially dangerous for Saarland. The state is lagging behind in many areas, the industry is under enormous pressure, and many medium-sized companies have to struggle daily. The people of Saarland need lower energy costs, faster approvals, finally less bureaucracy, and better investment conditions – not more debt.

FDP Saar appeals to Prime Minister Anke Rehlinger to contradict the federal SPD. As reportedly an influential voice within the SPD, she should use her political weight and give a clear rejection to the constant calls for ever new debt. Debt is not growth!

If the SPD sees itself in the political center, then it should also act accordingly, especially for future generations! Prosperity is not created through ever higher debts, but through performance – certainly a word the SPD left does not like to hear.

For the FDP, it is clear: Saarland needs an economic liberation, not a new orgy of debt.
