There is intense debate in Germany as to whether raising taxes and cutting subsidies is the right way forward. An alternative solution would be extending the suspension of the so-called debt brake in Germany, a constitutional limit on budget deficits.

Very simply put: FDP = libs. Economically right, socially left
In which world is the FDP socially left? They’re the rich man’s party. Economically right/liberal, socially right, believing in capitalism.
