Everyone knows that the pension at 63 was an SPD gift to well-paid industrial workers. That’s why the unions are also up in arms against the planned abolition. It concerns their core clientele. No roofer can last until 65. No academic can complete the 45 contribution years. The abolition is, when viewed in isolation, substantively correct, but it also shows the political clumsiness of the Union. You can't spend 60 billion euros every year on non-working individuals (50% of whom are foreigners) and then cut back on those who work and keep our social system running. No one understands that. It is the opposite of fair. #Rente #Sozialsystem #Gerechtigkeit (translated)
