Some Forgotten Costs of French Statism

Steve Antler reminds us that French socialism has real costs.Here's a gem from a post of his:
Official statistics show young French work an average of nine years in [what they call] precarite -- unpaid internships, three-month contracts and occasional stints collecting unemployment benefits -- before landing the coveted long-term contract that puts them on the protected side of the barrier.
Just think the liberal MSM in the United States calls this kind of thing "progressive".You see how when words lose their meaning people are no longer free.
