Bosbach warns: a fully comprehensive mentality endangers our economy!
In a lively exchange about the economic challenges that Germany is currently having to overcome, Caroline Bosbach, 35-year-old parliamentarian from Bergisch Gladbach, expressed her thoughts in the Reuter Festhalle. Her 30-minute speech focused on the importance of a strong economy as the foundation for a functioning welfare state. How Schwäbische.de reported, Bosbach urgently pointed out that responsibility for the current economic problems cannot only be attributed to the current traffic light government, but also to the previous Union-led federal government.
Before her speech, Bosbach continued her tour of the region and visited, among other things, the Traub bakery in Uttenweiler and the Jewish museum in Bad Buchau. With MP Wolfgang Dahler at her side, she included conversations with local actors in the speech in order to establish a direct connection to the reality of people's lives. “Economy is not everything, but without economy everything is nothing,” she explained, highlighting the need to develop solutions to social challenges from a strong economic base, as can be read on her LinkedIn profile LinkedIn.
Focus on economic and social issues
The parliamentarian criticized the so-called “all-inclusive mentality” that has prevailed in recent years. According to Bosbach, this means that the causes of economic problems are often ignored. She cited a variety of factors behind the departure of well-known companies from Germany, including high energy prices, tax rates and labor costs. The country's massive digitalization gap and the crumbling infrastructure, which are hampering economic growth, are particularly worrying.
With regard to the pension, Bosbach said that although it was secure, there were doubts about the amount. She also rejected tax increases and described Germany as the “world champion in taxes and social security contributions”. The urgent appeal by Thomas Dörflinger, the CDU district chairman, for more flexibility in phasing out combustion engines underlined the importance of economic issues, which are also high on the political agenda.
Looking into the future
Another key concern of Bosbach was the announcement of a reporting portal to simplify bureaucratic processes. This is a step to help people in Germany deal with authorities and applications more easily. Josef Rief, the honorary chairman of the CDU district association, finally warned that reliable and realistic promises should be made, especially with regard to pensions.
Overall, the appeal to strengthen the economy was spread loud and clear: Germany must wake up and tackle the challenges. “The state is not the better entrepreneur,” said Bosbach, summarizing the discussion and emphasizing that it is high time to focus more attention on medium-sized businesses in order to set the course for a more successful future.
