Fiscal responsibility must not work only in good times. If we want a safe and resilient state, we must have reserves for crises, clear rules, and control over borrowing. Because debt is not an abstract number. Someone will always pay it off eventually. (translated)
The Ministry of Finance will stop regularly publishing an analysis of compliance with the Maastricht criteria. The government claims it is unnecessary since they do not want the euro.

Growth forecast: 0.4% instead of 0.9%, decline in tax revenues: €17.8 billion. Klingbeil's financial planning has already driven us to bankruptcy with the old figures; with the new figures, the debt catastrophe will be even greater. If we do not pull the emergency brake now, we will race towards disaster. (Original: Wachstumsprognose: 0,4 % statt 0,9 %, Rückgang der Steuereinnahmen: 17,8 Mrd. €. Klingbeils Finanzplanung hat uns schon mit den alten Zahlen in die Pleite geführt, mit den neuen Zahlen wird die Schulden-Katastrophe noch größer. Wenn wir nicht jetzt die Notbremse ziehen, rasen) #EconomicCrisis #FiscalPolicy #DebtManagement #DE #EU
In recent weeks, social media has seen a rise in content promising quick solutions to reduce bank debts, often misrepresenting legal options like consumer rights and the Superindebtedness Law, which, while helpful, do not guarantee automatic debt forgiveness or significant discounts, stressing the importance of understanding the nature of one's debt and the necessity for informed financial management rather than relying on misleading claims. #DebtManagement #FinancialLiteracy #ConsumerRights #BR
