I don't think the issue is spending on social stuff. There are more issues like tax evasion - even supported by the ministry of Lindner [1].
But I think the biggest issue is spending money by employing more and more governance worker. I heard that the Kanzleramt employs more people than most of the big companies in Germany.
Also, you wrote CDU is corrupt, but FDP feels as corrupt as CDU. At least it looks like working for FDP lead ministry pays off [2][3].
It just feels morally wrong to try to cut social spending when they can't cut spending on their side. Also, pensions for governance worker are pretty high too.
(sorry for German sources)

- Phelinofist 2y agoMy comment was written with a bit of rage, I might have missed some things. So I agree with wealth tax and tackling tax evasion. Yes, I also should've added corruption to FDP, good catch! Mövenpick. Also look at the absolute dog shit minister that is Wissing. I also agree with reducing spending on their side.
- SvenL 2y agoI edited my comment also a little bit because I wrote in rage. It really feels frustrating the political landscape (voting the "least evil" party).
- Phelinofist 2y agoI think you can also do this before someone replys, so no luck there. Honestly I have no clue who to vote for. I guess we will get a GroKo again, which is utterly retarded, SPD has to go to. Their pension packet is just insane.
