According to a report from German media group RND, federal Health Minister Nina Warken has prepared a draft bill that would have adults without children pay a higher percentage of taxes towards publicly-funded elder care.

I’d wager this is because more Kindergeld would increase spending - which means either more debt or an increase in taxes somewhere else, and with the current government that’s not possible.
And considering the CDU probably has more parents than childless people as voters, i guess that’s a demographic they can afford to offend?
Then again, maybe searching for logic in this trainwreck of a government is our mistake to begin with.
