The German Parliament is set to vote on Tuesday on a plan to loosen government borrowing limits in order to spend heavily on defense and infrastructure, in an effort to offset America's pivot away from Europe and to lift the country out of years of economic stagnation. If the measure eventually becomes law, it will radically reorient Germany's relationship to government debt - and, its authors hope, allow Germany to shoulder a more powerful leadership role at a critical moment for Europe.

Germany's centrist politicians are losing votes to the far right and the far left. They are losing faith in America, their longtime friend and protector. And they are rapidly losing what could be their best chance to address both those problems at once.
