... maybe some of those with brains in their French heads are waking up to the fact that the country is imploding under the weight of the welfare state. Without rules, laws, standards, expectations, etc., there can be no order, no civility, no direction.
2+2 always = 4... not 5. Paying out more than you take in can NEVER work for ever. Government (translation - overly-taxed working people) CAN'T indefinitely support the un-productive.
The 3-week spree of 24/7 rioting, looting, car burning, killing in France 4-5 months ago was absolutely inevitable in that bubbling cauldren of socialism. The country is over-run by foreigners with no respect for, or allegiance to the country or its traditions. Furthermore, many of them are interested only in becoming more dead weight on the welfare rolls.
It's probably far too late to save the joint, but these proposals are at least a tiny step in the right direction.
America is not far behind, and it looks like the populace is tuning-in here too. The country is totally broke. Soc Security is all but done. We are as big a welfare state as anyone on the planet. Our bloated govt is populated by corrupt, lying thieves, and is growing by the day. Political correctness is rampant. Standards are gonzo...
Hello Scott Brown. Goodbye approval ratings for Obama and the socialist administration. We are full speed ahead and approaching the cliff. I hope the emergency brakes work!
