The German federal government, led by Chancellor Friedrich Merz, has set itself the goal of implementing major
reforms in the areas of health care, pensions, and taxes.
If you look at the plans for the upcoming healthcare reform, they seem more like a list of cuts and reductions.
Premiums are rising more and more, and benefits are being cut further and further.
For example, homeopathic treatment is no longer covered; an additional premium must be paid for spouses who
were previously covered at no extra cost, and so on.
However, this is not a genuine reform involving fundamental changes that would make
our health care system fit for the future.
Similar drastic measures are also expected with regard to pensions, most notably a
significant increase in the retirement age.
For people in physically demanding jobs—such as tradespeople—who cannot work until age 70 because their bodies
can no longer handle it, this amounts to a de facto reduction in their pension benefits.
Even now, more and more people who have worked hard their entire lives and paid into the
system are struggling with poverty in old age.
But why is there a shortage of money everywhere?
What kind of reforms would truly make our country future-proof, rather than leading to
the next round of cuts in just a few years?
Of course, there are many reasons why people don't have enough money.
Examples include the immense investments in military buildup, the vast sums spent during the COVID-19 crisis, the costs resulting
from massive migration to Germany, the energy transition, which is causing our energy and innovation costs to skyrocket, and the
funding of supranational organizations such as the UN, the EU, the WHO, Gavi , etc. , to
which Germany consistently contributes generously.
All of this costs taxpayers many billions.
However, there is also an issue whose scope exceeds all of the challenges mentioned above and which also contributes to them:
This is our current tuition system, which, first and foremost, urgently needs to be reformed.
Although Germany has record tax revenues of approximately 1 trillion euros, it is nevertheless sinking into
debt, just like the vast majority of other countries.
Germany's national debt stood at approximately 2.7 trillion euros at the end of 2025.
Approximately 598 million euros in new debt is incurred every day.
Interest on government debt alone now accounts for the third-largest budget item. It amounts to €50 billion annually.
This means that for every euro the German government borrows, 23 cents go directly back to
creditors without being used to fund any public services.
But why does the government actually have to borrow money and pay it back with interest?
Why doesn't he print it himself?
Why do we put ourselves in a position of dependence on banks and large asset managers, such as BlackRock?
Why isn't any of the parties represented in the Bundestag calling for a reform of this system?
Henry Ford said more than 100 years ago:
"If people understood the monetary system, we'd have a revolution by tomorrow morning."
But what does Ford mean by this statement?
What is the dark secret behind the monetary system that is almost never discussed in the media or in political circles?
A film that explains this with wonderful clarity and simplicity is the story of Fabian the
goldsmith, which we are rebroadcasting today.
It is particularly relevant right now and reveals the underlying causes of the current financial crises as
well as the wars that are currently being waged again or are being prepared with great effort.
