  "account": "Michael Hüther maintains a consistent worldview in his commentary. As an employer-friendly economist, he was among the pioneers of the debt state approach when Chancellor Friedrich Merz and his Vice Chancellor Lars Klingbeil could access half a trillion Euros in debt under the catchphrase \"special fund\". However, for Hüther, this was merely the beginning of a wondrous process of money multiplication. Currently, he advocates for the communalization of European debts in an era where Germany is fighting to maintain its top-ranking and creditworthiness. The economist positions his push ahead of a meeting between Chancellor and several heads of Net contributor states who are wary of letting the budget of the navel-gazing EU Commission spiral out of control in the coming years. Hüther particularly highlights the importance of clearly defined projects that offer themselves to shared debts. A glance at the German special fund reveals that this is one of the major weak points of the proposal.",
  "summary": "Der Ökonom Hüther spricht von klar umgrenzten Projekten, die sich für gemeinsame Schulden anböten. Das sollte uns mit einem Blick auf das deutsche Sondervermögen beunruhigen.",
