Crazy how thats an option all of a sudden if its for defense. Meanwhile our kids still sit in rotting school buildings with computers from 30 years ago, our bridges, roads and canals are crumbling and we debate over taking even the last bit if social security from jobless people because thats so expensive…
Bridges, roads and even schools (offering shelter and food for masses) are essential for defense though. It‘s part of the so called „erweiterter Sicherheitsbegriff“.
Tell that to Merz, I’m sure he wouldn’t invest in kids if they had to learn under a bridge
Can’t have a school under a collapsed bridge. Merz would call that a win-win situation.
