What is the bad stuff from the last four years? I only ever really hear good news coming out of Germany: low inflation, low unemployment, a more or less balanced budget. I figured that was why Merkel had surged so much.

1) No standard minium wage to the point of where it's argued the poor are getting poorer due to economic growth being the shittiest jobs.

2) Paying for the greek baillouts, having such an inclusive Europeon Union instead of kicking out countries like greece.

Unfortunately for the SPD, one of the biggest branches (if not the biggest. I didn't do any research) that were below the proposed minimum wage of 8.50€ now have their 8.50€ (7.86€ in East-Germany) starting 2014 and 2 years later they get 9€ (8.50€ in East-Germany).

This was announced just a few days ago.
