four million jobs - that 's can go!

Welt am Sonntag NO. 32 / POLICY 5
Helmut Kohl's attempts 1996th Two million additional jobs, it should be. But nothing came of it. The blooming landscapes in the whole of Germany claim - as we all learn had - a lot more time.
Gerhard Schröder tried likewise in 1998 with an additional three million jobs. He failed at the "New Economy", which crashed in 2000 and forced him to lead the country with the Agenda 2010, the deep valley to back up.
Now, in the midst of the worst economic crisis in decades, Frank-Walter Steinmeier's turn. This time it will be in a decade, four million new jobs. Who other than the Greens, who have at any election up to a million extra - subsidized - announce jobs, may believe it? As nice as it would be too!
But the times are not suffer so. And "the economy" that works, like Frank-Walter Steinmeier is well aware, is not so. Therefore, he speaks in his "Germany Plan" - an old-fashioned term, it was said earlier, from Herbert Wehner semantic workshop - even just from a potential four million jobs, which would raise it much.
But how could this happen? So now comes the controversy - and that's a good thing!
Our country is experiencing an economic contraction process, as it has given us before. When we reach zero growth in the next year, we can be happy. Unemployment is most definitely not until then fall. The record debt of all public authorities and their interest burden will fall not too sure. There are also high unemployment, partial unemployment benefits, increasing social costs - especially if we to factor in demographic changes. This is the situation. How do we get out?
economy is not a political request show. Jobs are not created by the state. They arise from entrepreneurial citizens and companies but are doing today with taxes and duties, by an excess of laws and bureaucracy not be charged at a minimum. On the contrary.
If the company wants to give Germany back swing, make the first thing that must be where it goes, for relief and all that which slows down development activity and staying eliminate: one reduce the public debt burden first to mind when the taxes start to flow again. In addition, the blockades against nuclear energy, against new coal combustion technologies, be removed from the green genetic engineering, against stem cell research. State responsible for expenses such as energy and health field have to be cut back.
Instead, we must promote competition. Approval process faster. The myriad of state and local authorities in reducing. The social systems more demographically secure. Invest heavily in education, and research and development tax . Support
example, might look like a policy that leads our country out of crisis. It does require, however, courage and strength to change. Then maybe even four million more jobs in it!
