  1. In case anyone thinks France is a “right wing” country….

    The Overton Window is very different there.

  2. It should be noted that, as far as Italy is concerned, the vast majority of that expense is made up of old-age pensions. With the exception of a few and rather partial measures enacted during the last five years, we really don’t have much of a welfare state to begin with (at least compared to many of the countries in this chart).
