  • OP said:

    “Germany is questioning the future of the European project.”

    Nothing to do with my comment.

    The comment I replied to said:

    “If Merz could work on getting the economy started instead of parroting AfD shit, i would be so happy”

    Going from a shrinking economy to a growing economy is literally the first step. Again, if that is not enough for you personally, fine, you do you.

    What I am saying is that there was a positive change in the economy. Backed up with a source.

    Argue all you want, what I said was accurate.





  • The previous comment said “work on getting the economy started”. I’m saying from a declining economy to a growing economy is making a start. In the face of tariffs from the US hurting exports I’d say it’s not the worst start either.

    If you are expecting a full turn around in a year and saying anything less is a failure, I think you need to adjust your expectations.

    Edit: as an addition from the article

    Despite a 5.1% increase in government expenditure in 2025, the financial deficit was almost 8 billion euros lower than the previous year because revenue grew 5.8%.

    You can have an issue with his policy, all I’m saying is that from an economic perspective, it seems to be an improvement.



  • How about we accept him back.

    Attempt to reintegrate him back into a caring society.

    Stop media and governments spreading false information about why school systems and hospitals are underfunded.

    Tax billionaires and rebuild key infrastructure.

    Attract companies to invest in the country due to our new and excellent school system and modern infrastructure.

    Provide him with an meaningful job where he feels like he is helping to build a better future.

    Allow him to let go of his misguided anger…

    (Sorry. It’s Christmas and I’ve had a beer. This is probably a terrible idea)
