"We all know that reforms are overdue, in bureaucracy, in the welfare state, in the economy,"
"With the investments from the special fund, we will not plug budget holes, but rather we will rehabilitate what has been neglected for years,"
"We are ensuring more growth, we are ensuring greater competitiveness, and above all, we are ensuring that jobs in this country are secure and that we create more employment,"
The federal government plans to invest €126.7 billion next year from the core budget and debt-financed special funds in roads, rail, public transport, schools, kindergartens and hospitals. Opposition parties argue that large loans are being used to finance parent pensions and restaurant tax breaks instead of driving economic expansion. Special-fund spending is intended to secure jobs and boost growth by rehabilitating long-neglected infrastructure and public services. Reforms are overdue in bureaucracy, the welfare state and the economy. The investment program aims to increase growth, enhance competitiveness and create and secure employment across the country.
