All of the current governing parties (plus CDU) are responsible, since they needed a 2/3 majority to pass it. SPD and CDU constituted the government, though. I don’t even know if Lindner was politically active in 2009, he certainly wasn’t influential, so you can’t really blame it on him.
The Supreme Court? This a result of the government using the constitution to restrict fiscal policy. They fucked themselves
Was that really the whole government, or just FDP/Lindner?
edit: To the one person who downvotes a genuine and innocent question: **** you too!
