In the Bundestag general debate the chancellor quit „autumn of the decision on to one “- which meant that?
So bang-hard it did not go in the Bundestag for a long time any longer to the thing!
SPD head Sigmar Gabriel and Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel went in the general debate to the Federal Budget violently one on the general debate to the Federal Budget violently one on the other loosely.

The eloquent Gabriel heated the government and Merkel personally equivalent for the prelude of the debate aggressively and uncommonly bitingly. As a master it brought its social-democratic comrades to the department of attack as an opposition leader (SPD faction leader Frank-Walter Steinmeier still recovers after the kidney donation for his wife from the consequences of the operation) powerfully in momentum and enthusiasm.
But Merkel countered unimpressed very resolut with a remarkably aggressive speech. The chancellor announced „autumn of the decisions to one “.

To signal those wanted head of government so energy and determination. Merkel knows naturally the tendency in the population and the miserable poll numbers for blackyellow. A far common reproach to the coalition reads: You one government year vertändelt, much argued, but few out carried. There Merkel wants to against-steer now consistently.

BUT WHICH COMES NOW TO REAL TO THE GERMANS?
There is above all five large-scale projects, which blackyellow to lift and if possible to end of the year also in the Bundestag and where necessarily also in the Upper House of Parliament under roof and subject wants to have.• Savings package and Federal BudgetThe march into the debt state is to be braked and turned around sometime. That is called concrete: 2011 want the expenditures the federation around 3,8 per cent (12 billion euros) to lower, altogether 307 billion euros to spend. Federal Minister of Finance Wolfgang Schäuble tied for the next years up to the year 2014 a savings package with a total volume of 80 billion euros.

2011 want the federation still approx. 57.5 billion euros new debts to make, 2014 „only” still approx. 24 billion euros.

To this course the government is compelling by the debt brake embodied in the Basic Law. But it is a Herkules task to also intersperse the course.
Some projects are violently disputed - for instance the introduction of the air traffic delivery, savings with the parental benefit for Hartz IV receiver, cuts with Öko tax exceptions for de Industrie. There still fights line up in the Bundestag.
• Energy concept and extension of validity of atomic power plants
The project is decided in the principle of the coalition, makes however still very much annoyance. The atomic power plants are to be allowed to run on average 12 years longer. The decision is hot disputed, likewise the planned agreements with the electricity companies over the billion-payments in new funds for the promotion of renewable energies.

In addition it is contentious whether the Upper House of Parliament of the extension must agree. The Federal Government says no, the opposition says and wants the Federal Constitutional Court to call.Also it is in Gorleben will again explore whether the salt plug is suited with Gorleben as ultimate waste disposal for highly radioactive radioactive waste.

The entire nuclear policy is hot disputed and could mobilize the opponents of blackyellow at SPD and the Greens strongly.

• Health reform
The outlines are clear. In January also the health insurance contributions will rise. In the detail there is still much clarifying need. Some annoyance with physicians, Pharmalobby and also insured (among other things because of the new regulation of the auxiliary contributions) still is forthcoming.
• Hartz IV reform
The Hartz IV sentences for children must again be determined to end of the yearly. Some speaks for it, which they are raised, in addition wants the coalition available children of Hartz IV receivers additional assistance (among other things for Nachhilfe, school of music, sports club) no more than payment in cash to make, but than contribution of equipment (education smart card or coupon). The details are expected with tension.
• German Federal Armed Forces reform
The coalition is itself united that the compulsory military service is to be suspended, which is to be made smaller German Federal Armed Forces of approx. 250,000 men on under up to 163,000 men. That equals a small revolution. It means that the civil service would have to be abolished at the same time. That could release still violent debates.

In addition difficult debates are to the coalition forthcoming, if federal military locations should be made smaller or closed. Result: Blackyellow an enormous program with difficult has, controversies topics before itself in the next months. If the coalition can master the problems, has itself chances to come the inquiry low. If it loses itself again in Gezänk, then it could become more zappenduster.

The chancellor and its coalition stand before their hardest acid test.
