Doesn’t matter, the majority did
This is what German people vote for. We didn’t have 16 years of stagnation because Führer Merkel ruled unchecked, we had it because people voted for that shit. And the moment the current government started to pick up the speed a bit and actually pushed some reforms through, the population had a full blown meltdown.
All of the current governing parties (plus CDU) are responsible, since they needed a 2/3 majority to pass it. SPD and CDU constituted the government, though. I don’t even know if Lindner was politically active in 2009, he certainly wasn’t influential, so you can’t really blame it on him.
The Supreme Court? This a result of the government using the constitution to restrict fiscal policy. They fucked themselves
Retaliation and political backlash
The entire point of inflationary pressure is that it deincentives holding on to it. Basic economic principles.
