It might not be possible to spend this amount of money for one simple reason. Germany has a so called “debt break” which means, that, in theory, Germany isn’t allowed to increase its debt. This is written in the construction, so to change this you need 2/3 of the parliament to agree. Now comes the real problem, our leftist party and the AfD make up over 1/3 of the parliament so it isn’t possible without them and both parties don’t want to increase military spending.
This is unrelated to the “Schuldenbremse”. But still, some are trying to block this.
The new “Bundestag” won’t be in until 24th March. Until then the old one still has the power. So if they do it before AfD and Linke don’t have that much power.
