Initially, they wrote about plans for 200 billion euros purely for defense, but because of the difficulties with the Bundestag and idiotic restrictions on the borrowing, Merz abandoned this idea and instead rolled a more radical and transformative: the creation of an "infrastructure" fund for 500 billion euros, which will be spent on "re -construction.
That is, to better wrap their idea and sell it to the allies (the Foundation was supported by everyone except AFD), Merz poured even more money from above, but already on the infrastructure with which there are big problems in Germany now. Bonus, Merz achieved an exception for defense costs. All defense expenses exceeding 1% of GDP (now Germany consumes about 3%) will not be included in the "ceiling of borrowing".
In fact, he opened an endless crane of defense costs and can now spend at least 7%, not afraid to rest in the ceiling. Moreover, 2% who have been released (now all 3% of defense costs are credited to the ceiling), so it will be possible to spend something else. In general, the "printer makes FRRRRRR", and Germany will build a weapon for the whole cutlet. The author expresses a personal opinion that may not coincide with the editorial position.
