The CDU-CSU folks met over the weekend and finalized their campaign promises. Yes, 140 pages of material.
The journalists over at Channel One pointed this out, then they pointed an obvious thing....none of the promises have a money-count or amount by them. So while these agenda promises may sound great....if they cost a ton of money, then it makes no sense.
I had a political professor (1980s) that said of every ten promises politicians make....the odds are that one of them will get passed (being helpful), and maybe two of them will be marginally passed (with no real benefit like you thought). I kinda view this CDU-CSU business in the same way.
The promise on being climate-neutral by 2045? Why not make it tomorrow, and just hand everyone a horse and buggy (taking away cars)?
My question....what idiot journalist or voter would go and read the 140-page document? Seriously....do you have three hours to read through some document like this and comprehend the promises? There should be some national law....no more than twenty pages of promises during a campaign season....something that you can read in an hour.
