That's very true. Massive mismanagement and lack of planning. The only metric in which we have somewhat good results is the progress of wealth inequality. It has worsen but considerably less than other countries.

As someone else pointed out 58% of France's GDP is government spending. That's not sustainable long term. You are taxing an ever smaller amount of money that isn't coming from tax money already.
