Opebus defunctus
Our economic engine of prosperity dwarfs that of Europe. That so-called safety net of theirs in Europe is causing them to rethink the wisdom of such frivloity. There have been several years of unrest in France because of long overdue reforms in their retirement system. Strikes are rampant in all industries from railroad to airline to education. The unemployment in France is over 10% and that outlook is not good. The pure burden on their economy is causing the European Union to force France into several reform measures.
