Overzealous or prudent? Germany has a healthy debt to GDP ratio for its demographics. Changing this will be a mistake. Just look at America that can't stop running bigger deficits. Germany is an example for the EU, by running a deficit it would give a bad example to already struggling countries such as Italy. It's ok to grow or even enter deflation if you must, if you decide to fight the monster, you end up becoming it like Japan and the US.
