Political Chatter

Couple of weeks ago....I ventured into Berlin for a week (my wife's suggestion).

I'll just say it....of metro-cities in Germany....on my messiness scale (1-to-10).....it's probably a '6'.  You get to some places (particularly around subway stations) and it's crappy.

Election is coming up shortly in the city.

I noted this AM....the new Berlin CDU top candidate....Stefan Evers...proposes obligating welfare recipients to clean up duty. 

Naturally....other parties are pretty negative about this proposal.

Statistics at play?  Well...generally....if you lay out welfare folks in Germany....approximately half are 'new' residents.  Some folks would say it's unfair to do clean-up duty.

General population supporting the idea?  I'd suggest about 50-percent of Germans in general....like this type of idea.
