I’ll just let you know that without the money spent by the German government you wouldn’t have mp3, or AAC.
You wouldn’t have most of modern technology, nor would you have Wendelstein 7-X.
You wouldn’t have DHL or T-Mobile.
Sure, they waste lots of money (BER, S21, Elbphilharmonie), but still they manage it better than the private sector ever could.
The top politicians earn less than the managers of any company at that size — Merkel earns 216'000€ a year. The CEO of even middle-sized companies end up making far more than that.
