Linnemann demands more respect: Citizens' money debate divides company!

Deutschland - In a heated discussion about the citizens 'allowance, Carsten Linnemann from the CDU criticized the attitudes of many citizens' money. He sees the distribution of undeclared work among these recipients a misuse of the welfare state, which creates a strong feeling of injustice in the employed. Linnemann emphasized in the show with Caren Miosga that the social mood was damaged by these practices. Property of the system deserve the right focus, as IG Metall chairman Christiane Benner emphasized, who found it inappropriate to question the willingness to perform of the low earners. She warned that this discussion could stir up unnecessary anger.

The citizen benefit was decided in 2022 as a reform of the basic security and came into force in early 2023 to replace the previous unemployment benefit II, also known as Hartz IV. The reform assumed a coalition of the SPD, Greens and FDP, but also met with criticism from the Union parties, FDP and the AfD, the alarmed cost increases. An analysis showed that the expenditure for the civil allowance in 2023 was 42.6 billion euros - an increase of 16 percent compared to the previous year.

criticism of the reform and the country -wide controversy

The new regulation aims to offer job seekers more social security and focuses on qualification and long -term employment. However, critics criticize that the elimination of the placement of placement, which existed before the reform, weakens motivation for working. In the eyes of the Union parties, it is necessary to reintroduce this order point and to reject the term "citizen benefit". According to a balance sheet, the number of former beneficiaries that were integrated into the labor market rose 8 percent between January and August 2024.

A dangerous trend that Linnemann and his party colleagues discover is the discrepancy between the one who wants to participate in the citizens' allowance and real gainful employment. While many citizens' money recipients are willing to work, high taxes and complicated regulations limit their possibilities. In this context, Linnemann proposes a regular weekly working time to enable more flexibility.

social challenges and political demands

The social pressure is reinforced by the perspective that many full -time employees rely on social benefits because their wages are not sufficient. Schularick, another discussion partner, emphasized in the debate that Germany is doing fewer working hours in international comparison, which has a negative impact on gross domestic product. In addition, he expanded the discussion about the abolition of spouse splitting, which consolidate the traditional role models, while Linnemann is more likely to speak for family splitting.

The financing of childcare places was also discussed in these discussions, since according to Benner, many women are willing to work more if available care offers were available. The need to strengthen the working morality in Germany was therefore addressed by several sides, with Linnemann playing a clear role in the coalition committee to develop solutions.

Especially in the discussion about the welfare state in Germany it becomes clear that reforms such as the citizen benefit remain controversial. While some are of the opinion that "every work is better than no work", in reality, many are affected by temporary agency work and mini jobs, which questions the effectiveness of the citizens' allowance. Despite the increased standard requirement by 12 percent, the general guarantee of social security remains in focus.

A well -functioning social system should not only promote social security, but also economic stability. The welfare state now has the task of reducing the poverty rates in Germany and improving the social infrastructure - not least through possible reforms to combat income -related inequality in order to maintain social peace.
