The protesters in France are dumb. They can’t afford schools because they spend too much on pensions but they protest/vote against reform. They’re going bankrupt because the people are lazy and entitled.

Let's not pretend you have the first clue what you are talking about. You are just repeating dumb shit you have read online.

The IMF said the same thing in other words. France is living above its means and their pension system is unsustainable- they’re losing credibility in bond markets. Politicians in any country can lie, but bond markets don’t.

Then get the young people to vote. The old people will always pull the ladder up after themselves.

You’re the only one complaining here, I don’t care either way. All I did was point out what a conundrum France is in: Make the protesters happy, make the bond market crash, make the bond market happy, make piss of the protesters even more.

You went out of your way to comment about something that you don't even check yourself. So yeah it is legitimate to think that you just want to complain about something that goes above your head just to spew your BS and put down others.

What did I say that’s wrong genius? The ECB and IMF have already been calling out France, specifically saying the solution is internal fiscal consolidation. You can’t counter the facts I’ve provided so you are here crying in response.

The ECB and IMF know only this one trick, cut spending. There are other ways to address a deficit.
