Comparing tax regimes can be understood in many ways.
One is the soft shaping of economic thought and perhaps ultimately more about justifying the fiscal squeeze.
Less about a regrettable necessity, more of necessary instrument to lock in a social order where capital is out of reach.

Without a real change in economic policy, there is no reason to expect a recovery any time soon. Govt must overcome its debt shadow and, on the basis of a genuine macroeconomic analysis, recognize that regulations such as #German #DebtBrake, and even the modified debt brake, are not viable.

In addition, a key concern has been that the #debtbrake inhibits vital public investment by disallowing deficit-financed spending, even when borrowing costs are low and infrastructure needs are high.

Thanks for the thread. The so-called ‘debt brake’ had been introduced by his own party… now he has led his party through a rapid 180-degree turn.”

Sixt's latest ad mocks Merz for approving 500B€ in new debt, despite campaigning against it.
They even compare it to renting a BMW X3 for €69 a day—without "special funds" 😂

🤝 After long discussions, the leaders of the CDU/CSU, SPD and Green factions have agreed on a major financial package for defence and infrastructure. To this end, the #debtbrake will be softened.

Breaking news from #Germany on an agreement between the new coalition & the Greens on #debtbrake reform is welcome.
It is it is far from ideal politically (using the old Bundestag majority) and economically (no cap for defence but for infrastructure).
But perfect sd not be the enemy of the good.

The economist Moritz Schularick supports the relaxation of the Schuldenbremse (debt brake) when defense spending exceeds 1% of GDP, considering it a "basically meaningful provision." #Germany #FederalParliament #SpecialFunds #DebtBrake
