Children do not belong to the Hartz-IV-System

Giffey and healing want to lot of with your "Strong-families-act" is a real things and stay in a repair mode. Life is not enough.

Franziska Giffey has to give, in addition to the on-site visit, a more political passion: complex things simple, fine-sounding name. Excelled in this discipline, most recently with the "Good-Kita-law". Whether that will be his name, is in the stars, but even political opponents to give grudgingly, that in matters of policy, marketing is the least of the SPD Minister for family Affairs, the water can range. Now, Giffey has the "Strong families act". One of the party this Time: Minister of social Affairs Hubertus Heil, the tried the idea in the first place, to make copyright claims on the name claim.

the aim of the law is to help families with little income to get better over the rounds. Without Hartz IV slipping without the need for every school trip, a new application, and without the use of certain AIDS to be eliminated through maintenance payments or a small salary increase immediately.

You can speak with a sneer about Giffeys type of bold brand management But it was rarely so sorely needed, to simplify to the public, such as on the field, Giffey and healing re-measured. The rules around children's allowance, education and participation package is so complex that it needs not a law, title 23 words.

Some of the bureaucratic insanity rules fall away

in Addition, air Giffey and healing quite well. Some bureaucratic insanity had to contribute provisions like the a Euro on the day, the families have had otherwise discounted school Lunches for their children, fall away. Also that for Lone parents is no longer any Euro maintenance means a Euro less child Supplement, is long overdue. And the absurdity that there is more work to do and a slightly higher income can cause families to have less money available than before - because of the child allowance ceases to apply immediately, would have heard much sooner.

in Short: Giffey, and healing wish to a lot of real things. And yet, they remain in a kind of repair mode. You move within the existing order, which is constructed with a view to the social protection of children, however, wrong. The output error is not that children actually belong to the Hartz-IV-System. Because the rotates at its core, unemployment, qualification and reintegration into the labour market. This is not a Kosmos for children. From this original defect out many other defects, often with detail and bureaucratic constructs can suffering be healed - from the child Supplement until voucher for membership in a sports club.

The solution would be a basic security for children, regardless of the life and income situation of their parents. But there is no really to the end of a well-planned concept. Can you think of children without their parents? What happens when a high children's basic welfare, even at two or three children work, even for parents with middle income is no longer worth it? Such issues are of concern currently, as well as all of the parties - and even Giffey and healing. You have now presented first, responses for a much smaller format, even if everyday relevant issues. In time, however, it is not enough.
