Yes, thank you for mentioning me, but that is really not necessary, in my opinion it is important that we regularly repeat the central topics here and go into them in greater depth. Generally speaking, I would like to add that the German debt brake is a political initiative that was incorporated into the constitution at the time, but which has been and can be revised at any time. This means that, if necessary, this rule can be violated or the debt brake can be abolished altogether. What is important is that at a certain point, the bond market sets a limit for the legislator and the players through rising interest rates and a strong sell-off of government debt. Germany has benefited from the introduction of the euro from the massive economic difference and has cultivated a kind of neo mercantile trade model through a relative undervaluation of the currency (the Deutschmark would be much firmer) so that it could keep its debt halfway under control with a high trade surplus. But this model seems to be coming to an end due to de-industrialization.

I don't mind reposts since timing, the title, or some other factor could have affected traction.
