Incomes must go up.
So print more money?
No, it comes from what otherwise would've been corporate profits and consumer excess. Paying labor isn't money printing.
Is it common for Germans to fill the gap between their wages and their non discretionary expenses with credit? Or do they get paid enough to survive on wages alone (without needing to use credit to fill the gap)? Are wages sufficient because of their unions?
