Tribune in the French newspaper La Croix by Antoine Foucher about the upcoming French 2026 budget.
He recently published a book entitled Sortir du travail qui ne paie plus ("Getting out of work not paying anymore") about the breakdown of the French social contract and its funding of ever-increasing social spending (pensions, welfare) through highly fiscal pressure on labour (e.g. high payroll taxes).
I changed the adjective used to "disastrous" so as not to trigger some kind of automod.

Unless it’s truly absurd amounts of spending or really specific programs have been proven ineffective, education should be about the last thing for a government to cut if it’s looking to cut in spending.
Every dollar put in for education pays out so much more compared to other programs like bloated pensions or pork spending.
Due to a fiscal crisis we will have to cut funding for schools.
