Emanuel Boeminghaus wrote that he has long warned of increasing poverty and referred to a warning from portfolio manager Andreas Beck about a significant loss of wealth in Germany. Beck criticized the rising national debt in a conversation with Apollo News and stated that by 2026, about a third of the federal budget would already be financed by debt. Since 2019, in his estimation, there has been no productivity growth; moreover, the gap in economic performance and income is widening. Cities like Stuttgart and Munich are also increasingly under budgetary pressure, according to Beck. Boeminghaus described the contribution as an important indication. https://t.co/FVgupyiotu #Deutschland #Wohlstand #Wirtschaft (translated)

The federal cabinet today adopted the #CareReform. In order not to further escalate the ongoing dispute in the governing coalition, criticism points and fundamental reform projects were initially ignored. These will be clarified by a commission. The consequence: contributors will have to shoulder significantly higher burdens. In this context, the health policy spokesman for the AfD parliamentary group, @martin_sichert, states: "The spousal co-insurance will become more expensive in the future, childless individuals will pay more and the contribution assessment limit will rise. All of this burdens the providers of performance in our society. It is a disgrace for the government of Chancellor Merz and Health Minister Linnemann that their central action is limited to taking more and more money from the citizens to temporarily save the fundamentally reform-needy long-term care insurance from financial ruin. And of course, a commission will also be tasked again to bring about further burdens for the citizens, such as higher burdens for privately insured individuals. The contribution rate for statutory long-term care insurance has been rising for years, and the money still does not reach sufficient levels. There are no genuine reforms. Where is the radical reduction of bureaucracy? Where is the strengthening of home care? The long-term care insurance system needs fundamental reform, just like the entire healthcare sector. The AfD parliamentary group has already submitted extensive concepts that encompass not only care but also health insurance companies, hospitals, doctors, pharmacies, therapists, and all other service providers. We therefore once again call on the federal government not to stand in the way of a fundamental health and care reform." #Pflegereform #Gesundheit #Politik (translated)
Damit entfällt die Solidarität, zum einen, weil Armut dann moralisch verwerflich wird („faul“, „dumm“), zum anderen, weil keine Empathie für die Unähnlichen (=Fremde). Nur: Aktuell sind die Armen schon oft Fremde. Ein einfaches Zurück gibt es nicht mehr. Dafür brauchen wir Ideen! #Solidarität #Armut #Empathie
