Before the so-called Hartz IV support for people who´ve been unemployed for more than 1 year´s been introduced by law in 2004 or so, all people who got money from social welfare in Germany got money from extra budgets for more expensive things like cloths, houshold electrics (washing machines, ovens, refrigerators, lamps etc.), so they could buy such things when they needed them, but now the politicians say that shall all be inclusive, which´s not true, all´s become so expensive, and if I f. ex. need a new winter jacket I can´t afford to buy one anymore at all, the mony from my very small pension + from social welfare´s not enough for such expenses at all, so I have to put on 2 pull-overs under my jacket that can´t be closed anymore now, is this social fairness? Please bring back the extra money, so people like me who can´t work anymore or others who don´t find a new job can buy the most necessary things they need again!!!
