Tzhanks for the long answer, I am a little smarter now.

Yes, spending a large amount for defense seems necessary - as long as you don't get any friendly neighbors moving in.

Wow, the price for an apartment seems crazy, for that money you can buy a real luxury apartment in my town. A normal apartment for a family would be about half the price.

I get the point with the contractors - this happens here too, the contractor gets a subcontroctor, who gets a sub, etc. At the end you have some illegals who work for some euros a day and often do not even receive the money... That's one of the problems if you don't have minimum wage, as we don't have here.
Therefore I meant: when the standards are met, then I see the contractors as an alternative to bureaucratic inefficency, but I have no solution, I am far away from being a politician, lol.

Even after the privatization of the medical institutions here, we haven't abolished public healthcare. The problem is that private institutions get fed by public money. Surely they do not have any interest to work cost-efficent, as long as the euros get pumped into their arses... However explaining the German health system, would be the same as our tax system. Nobody understands it, it would take years to try to desribe and I would get insane about it...
