Alex Muller drinking beer, Finance Minister, Bonn, Germany

Feb. 11, 1970 - Federal Finance Minister Dr. Alex Muller must be ready for heated debates when he has delivered his budget speech in Bonn's parliament concerning the passage of the federal budget. The Bundestag has scheduled several days to allow for speaking and reading. A small pale beer is Muller's secret recipe to keeping a cool head in any situation. It is to be expected that the budget increase of 91.5 billion DM will be the cause of fierce attacks from the opposition, especially since experts cannot conceive how a planned economic downturn without tax increases should be implemented. Moreover, the finance minister is thinking about a forty percent increase in expenditures for education and science, continuing pension increases for war victims, and improvements to child benefits
