Wir haben unser Programm durchgerechnet. Alle Wissenschaftler sagen: Das SPD-Programm ist das sparsamste. Wir wollen Investitionen in die Infrastruktur mit einen Deutschlandfonds aus öffentlichen und privaten Mitteln stärken. Anders als CDU und CSU sagen wir auch transparent: Wir stehen zur Schuldenbremse, aber sie muss reformiert werden.

Es ist entscheidend, dass Deutschland als größte Volkswirtschaft der Europäischen Union jetzt massiv in die Zukunft investiert. #mittestattmerz
