German here: get ready for empty promises. German politics will make you just as jaded.

1. It's said in the Bild am Sonntag - everyweek another politician says something dumb in an interview with them, then there are many discussions about it in the upcoming week and then the circle starts again
2. There is not one ruling party, there are three and since the party having control of the ministry of finance just said a very defunded child support programm was the last big social subsidiary of the term, this will bot happen.
