137

The government decides on a big new plan. The name is 'Auf-schwung-Paket'. This means: economic boost package. Leader Friedrich Merz explains the plan. The goal is a better economy. There are 34 new points.

Families pay less tax from 2027. A normal family saves 600 Euro each year. This is 50 Euro every month. Rich people pay more tax now. The rule is for people with high income. The government calls this 'Reichen-Steuer'.

Work also changes a lot. Sick people visit the doctor on day 1. A doctor must confirm the sickness. The phone call for sickness stops. Firms can set short contracts for 4 years.

The government stops much paperwork. This makes work easier. This is 'Büro-kratie-Abbau'. It means: less office work. Young people get better chances. They get better school results. The 'Bundes-Tag' must agree to the plan.
