France has serious serious problems... a lot of which caused by the saftey nets. It's simple when your on welfare you don't really own anything... Wealth is the most important factor to success. France's social saftey nets provide more, but take away the oppurtunity to build wealth. Additionally Americans are more hardworking, but this has nothing to do with the government, but Frances positives do? Which are once again, not that positive in a lot of areas.
Ok, even with the advanced degrees in the US college grad unemployment in the US is around 5.9% at the moment, still higher than in france How am I spinning, i've been showing data that supports my argument from the start. Umm I never said france doesn't have problems, but I do point out how their safety nets have created more positives than negatives, and I have also pointed out how we have a lot of problems as well problems that could be solved by the implementation of more socialized nets, and so far you haven't shown that their negatives outweigh their positives or how those problems you've listed, like racial issues are due to the socialized nets. |
Once again... at the moment... during something seen as a worst case unbelievably horrible scenario.
Horrible nearly worst case scenario = about as bad as France normally.
I don't see... "well the poor have better lives but they're more likely to stay poor" as better honestly. I see it as creating a permanent second class which tends to lead to anger, riots, loss of motivation and budget spending just to support the system... which is actually a number of problems with France today.
Since they spend about as much overbudget as we do... when we're fighting two wars.
It's short sighted to say france is better off... and even then it takes a severe economic downturn to say that.
