The traffic light coalition wants to stimulate the economy. There are plenty of ideas, but no common course. The responsible ministers, Habeck and Lindner, have only been great at one thing so far: badmouthing the situation.
Robert Habeck could now draw hope every day, actually. The Minister of Economics is currently touring the east of the Republic, success story after success story. At Jenoptik in Jena, he is shown telescopes that can practically see a five-cent piece on Earth from space. At Mercedes in Berlin, an engineer presents him with an electric motor that is smaller than all of its predecessors and yet performs more. And at the craft fair in Leipzig he discovered a “space-saving door” that folds into two parts when opened. A carpenter from Taucha in Saxony developed it. Stories full of hope – if only it weren’t for these numbers.
