And if they don’t like the debt limit rule they passed a few years ago, they can change it.

But only a minority of the parliament doesn't like it, that's the problem. You need 2/3 of the Bundestag, but even our current governing coalition is composed of parties that are in favour of this strict austerity/debt limit (FDP) or are ambiguous or just slightly against it (SPD)
