| Message | We object on the basis of fiscal sustainability. We note that fiscal sustainability is especially concerning in light of the SPD's simultaneous belief in greatly increasing the minimum wage. - Sabine Anetzberger (finance spokesperson) |
| Date | 07:21:27, May 30, 2015 CET | From | Linke Bewegung (Adlerist-Federist) | To | Debating the Income Guarantee |
| Message | In a developing nation that would be a legitimate concern. Thankfully in a nation as wealthy and prosperous as ours, we have no need to fear for fiscal sustainability. There is more than enough wealth to see a much more equitable spread of wealth amongst our population. |
