Sure the budget will be fixed...

She stands for state funded economy and she needs no socialist to have these ideas !

That is the problem with coalition governments in Germany: The CDU/CSU is probably one third cultural and religious conservatives (e.g. Edmund Stoiber, prime minister of Bavaria; Ursula von der Leyen, federal minister for families, senior citizens and women), one third what one calls "Christian social romantics" in Germany (e.g. Peter Mueller, prime minister of the Saarland; but also former chancellor Helmut Kohl) and one third neo-conservatives (Angela Merkel; Friedrich Merz, former minority leader in the Bundestag) - and that's why in terms of economic policies a coaltion government between CDU/CSU and SPD brings out the worst in the CDU.
That's why I would always vote for the Free Democratic or Liberal Party (classical liberalism that is), which consists of approx. two thirds libertarians / capitalists and one third civil-rights liberals. The dynamic within a CDU/CSU-FDP coalition, where the neo-conservatives tend to team up with the libertarians, thus differs significantly from a CDU/CSU-SPD coalition, where socialists and social romantics seem to get along best.
