Hmm, good question.
They’d definitely never fund open source software https://prototypefund.de/en/ https://prototypefund.de/en/, they’d never build new seawalls and more to protect against rising sea levels https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/Landesregierung/V/_startseite/Artikel2018/I/180102_kuestenschutz.html https://www.schleswig-holstein.de/DE/Landesregierung/V/_star..., they’d of course not invest more into schools and universities http://www.uni-kiel.de/pressemeldungen/index.php?pmid=2016-252-bau-und-campusentwicklung http://www.uni-kiel.de/pressemeldungen/index.php?pmid=2016-2..., nor into streets, canals, bridges and other infrastructure https://www.bmvi.de/SharedDocs/DE/Artikel/G/verkehrsinvestitionsbericht-2015.html https://www.bmvi.de/SharedDocs/DE/Artikel/G/verkehrsinvestit... http://dipbt.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/18/127/1812764.pdf http://dipbt.bundestag.de/dip21/btd/18/127/1812764.pdf And they surely never would use it to pay off government debt https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-economy/german-overall-debt-shrinks-in-2016-heads-towards-eu-limit-idUSKBN1AJ0U5 https://www.reuters.com/article/us-germany-economy/german-ov...
Yeah, the government never releases any information on where the money is spent, and wastes it all https://www.bundeshaushalt-info.de/#/2016/soll/ausgaben/einzelplan.html https://www.bundeshaushalt-info.de/#/2016/soll/ausgaben/einz...
Luckily, Google is much better, they invest it all into society with no profit motive of their own, and always give us full reports where every cent goes.
