The author wrote that the German social state is no longer one, but has developed into an insatiable leviathan. He accused it of driving out productive members, companies, and the industry, allowing the population to become increasingly impoverished, and rewarding those who refuse to work and cheats. https://t.co/Ct5RDUKUyK #Sozialstaat #Leistung #Gerechtigkeit (translated)

Oliver Gorus wrote that Stelter is correct in his analysis; he listens to his podcast regularly. The problem, however, is not a lack of knowledge: politicians are aware of the situation but follow systemic incentives that, in his view, favor more redistribution, social welfare, debt, taxes, and contributions, as well as a higher state quota. This secures their positions and pensions. Gorus considered a course change unrealistic. According to his portrayal, political actors benefited from the decline and did not care about decreasing prosperity. He compared them to residents of the Wandlitz forest settlement negotiating their next role among themselves. He asked how long the substance of the private sector would last and whether the euro, the EU, or the Federal Republic would collapse first. Genuine reform within the existing structures seems unlikely to him. The next government would probably be Green-Red-Red, Gorus wrote, because retirees and other recipients of transfers formed the largest voter block; after that, things would really get going in the "ghost train." #Politik #Gesellschaft #Wirtschaft (translated)

M🅰️🅰️zilla described the view of not touching the social state as strange. Before Corona, its share of GDP had been about three percent lower, which corresponded to around 135 billion euros. Furthermore, he wrote that Dr. Daniel Stelter had clearly criticized Ulrike Herrmann on #Lanz. https://t.co/qptLzYjue5 #Sozialstaat #Ökonomie #Debatte (translated)

A clear majority of the population supports, in a current social barometer, halving child poverty in Austria by 2030 with a child basic income, and simultaneously demands the introduction of a millionaire tax to finance social welfare measures. #Kinderarmut #Sozialpolitik #Kindergrundsicherung (translated)

Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz wrote that Germany is experiencing the greatest modernization push. The country is investing in infrastructure, strengthening the economy and innovation, and ensuring the welfare state as well as Europe’s security. There is still much to be done, but he is convinced that the government is doing what is possible and right for a better future. https://t.co/1G6fzLPatf #Modernisierung #Zukunft #Innovation (translated)

Loop23 questioned the statement of the Chancellor that Ukraine also helps Germany, and asked whether this refers to the "plundering of the welfare state." He wrote that about 700,000 Ukrainians receive citizen benefits, including nearly half a million who are able to work. He also pointed to costs for housing, energy, and health insurance. #Ukraine #Sozialstaat #Bürgergeld (translated)

René Springer wrote that people entered Germany illegally, threw away their passports at the border, and then received basic security benefits for five or ten years under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act. The reports from the Federal Police on this matter are clear, he stated. Taxpayers have a right to ensure that the system is not exploited. Springer called for a right to basic security to be granted only after ten years in Germany, along with employment, knowledge of German, and tax payments, and then to be limited to one year. He demanded an end to the decades-long exploitation of the welfare state. #Asylpolitik #Sozialstaat #Steuerzahler (translated)

Udo Bönstrup wrote that Europe had justified for years that it needed these people, claiming they took on jobs for which supposedly no one could be found locally. He described the situation in France as increasingly burdensome for the welfare state and accused a generation of lacking respect for the country. He also referenced scenes where a firefighter fought for his life while bystanders filmed and laughed. Germany is observing closely what is going wrong in France, Bönstrup wrote ironically, only to later follow the same path and be surprised afterward. #Europa #Sozialstaat #Gesellschaft (translated)

The union has recognized a central point: its policies are not perceived as fair by many. Johannes Winkel expresses seemingly banalities here, which, however, have become less and less guiding for decisions in the past. There is no need for a programmatic overhaul, but rather a focus on common sense and obviousness. - Open borders and an open welfare state do not work - Hard work and effort must pay off - Transfer payments must never provide more than in the low-income bracket - Restriction to those truly in need; no scattergun approach - Fight against abuse: welfare/subsidy fraud or tax evasion #Politik #Gerechtigkeit #Sozialstaat (translated)

If Siegmund is not bluffing, he has defectors from the CDU, and not just one but at least 3+. In this case, the CDU in Saxony-Anhalt would implode, and Merz's chancellorship would mark the end of the CDU as a governing anchor of the Federal Republic in the post-war period. We would be witnessing in Germany what is already a reality in France, Italy, or the Netherlands: the death of the classical Christian (and social) democratic people's parties as a symptom of a deep systemic crisis. The goal of the radically free-market and US-aligned Alice Weidel to split the CDU at the federal level and to position herself as the replacement for the Union as a governing party - with parts of the CDU in a junior role - would be almost achieved. However, it is also certain: The AfD would not be able to maintain its support permanently, as it will dismantle the welfare state and has no program for economic dynamism. In addition, conflicts over direction within the AfD will escalate. It would be just the beginning of a new party spectrum in Germany! #CDU #Politik #Deutschland (translated)

Johannes Winkel sagt mit Blick auf Sozialleistungen, dass diejenigen weniger bekommen sollten, die vorher nicht eingezahlt haben, das könnte sich der Bundeskanzler doch direkt zu Herzen nehmen, Gerechtigkeit und so. Oder kurz: Sozialstaat und offene Grenzen geht sich nicht aus https://t.co/sl5rd44Fmk #Sozialstaat #Gerechtigkeit #Sozialleistungen

Symbolbild: ... weder Zeugnis von RASSISSMUS noch von 🇩🇪 AUSLÄNDEREINDLICHKEIT. Ein Exempel, wie Leute, die NIE EINGEZAHLT haben, Sozialkassen mit Hilfe von REGIERUNGEN 🇩🇪 massenhaft PLÜNDERN. Regierungen, die das seit Jahr- zehnten AKTIV dulden, begehen BETRUG !! 🇩🇪 https://t.co/EfXskxM9UK #Rassismus #Sozialstaat #Gesellschaft

Wir werden aufräumen und wir fangen beim Bürgergeld an. Es soll wieder für die da sein, für die es erdacht wurde. Wer sich in diesem Land integriert hat, wer gearbeitet und Beiträge geleistet hat und unverschuldet in Not gerät, der hat selbstverständlich Anspruch. Aber wer an der Grenze seinen Pass zerreißt, Asyl ruft, und am Ende dauerhaft im Grundsicherungssystem landet - das werden wir nicht mehr zulassen. Und der eigentliche Missbrauch am Sozialstaat? Der kommt von einer Regierung, die diese Regeln erst möglich gemacht hat. #Bürgergeld #Sozialstaat #Integration

Johannes Winkel, der Vorsitzende der Jungen Union, warnt in einem Interview vor dem drohenden Untergang der CDU und fordert eine grundlegende Reform des Sozialstaats, die Migranten benachteiligen würde, während er auch Kritik an Kanzler Merz und den ostdeutschen Ministerpräsidenten übt. #JungeUnion #CDU #Sozialreform

Schein-Konservative entdecken das Stadtbild. Jahrzehnte lang haben genau diese Union-Politiker die unkontrollierte Migration vorangetrieben. Ohne Wenn und Aber. Grenzen auf, Sozialstaat plündern lassen, Parallelgesellschaften wachsen lassen. Jetzt steht Boris Rhein vor der Kamera https://t.co/XMJBNlgEz8 #Migration #Stadtbild #Parallelgesellschaften
