In Switzerland people talk about how sensible it is to limit the urge to spend. The debt brake forces politicians to see conflicting goals, weigh them up and remain able to act in the future, said Wieland.
According to Wieland, other measures could be used to “achieve more with less,” according to the existing debt brake. "Neither restaurant and hotel users nor manufacturers of standard chips for the world market need all the subsidies at the expense of future taxpayers. And we don't necessarily have to encourage urgently needed workers to retire at 63." Wieland also sees opportunities in climate transformation: "Anyone who would have to pay more for the right to emit greenhouse gases will invest in climate-friendly technologies."
