Employers want new study financing - actually, I generally assume that those who want to change something either directly manage that something, or at least are prepared to finance it soon. In other words: if employers want to change study financing, they should first pay for study financing, child allowance, etc. themselves. Because as it stands, this is just hollow rhetoric - employers have nothing to do with the things mentioned and are just shouting populist demands into the room again.

It's really fascinating how they want to regulate payments they themselves don't make and then want to use a credit institution they don't finance. If Hundt had said that employers want to establish and fund a social fund to support study financing, then that would have been an innovative proposal. As it is, it's just blah-blah.

Our employer associations really have gone to the dogs.
