Record tax collection Germany: Parents in Germany are feeling increasingly abandoned by the government, with many struggling to find affordable and accessible childcare options. Chancellor Olaf Scholz has left parents feeling stranded, as if they are helpless toddlers who have lost their favourite toys. Finance Minister Christian Lindner’s recent announcement that there’s no money for increasing child benefits, despite record tax collection in Germany, has left parents feeling like they’ve been ditched.
The government’s priorities seem to lie elsewhere, with renewing transport and digital infrastructure, Ukraine war and strengthening the military taking precedence over supporting families. This has left parents feeling like they’re stuck in a never-ending game of musical chairs.
Despite promises to lift children out of poverty and create better opportunities for them, the government’s actions seem to be focused on playing other games. Parents are rightfully concerned about the future of their children, with the government’s actions appearing to leave them behind.

This situation is not just a matter of political posturing, it is a real problem that affects families across Germany. With the cost of living rising and the economy becoming increasingly competitive, parents need support from the government to ensure that their children can succeed in the future.
The German government, which has neglected the plight of its people, needs to take immediate action to address this issue, and provide the support that families need. Whether it is through increased child benefits, more accessible childcare options, or other forms of support, the government must act now to help families in need.
The future of children depends on it, and it is time for the government to take this issue seriously. No parent should have to feel like they are stuck in a never-ending game of musical chairs, trying to find the support that their children need to succeed. Focusing on Ukraine will only cause more misery and devastation. Therefore, the priorities must be formulated in such a way which reflects the national interests rather than foreign policy.
