😤 La France fait plus de dépenses publiques que la Chine, les USA... et même l'URSS en 1990

😤 Classic French-bashing, fueled by cherry-picking ✅ In 2024, France’s public spending was 57.1% of GDP. Lower than Finland (57.6%) and Europe’s top spender. The eurozone average is 49.6%. https://data.ecb.europa.eu/data/data-categories/prices-macroeconomic-and-sectoral-statistics/government-finance/expenditure/total-expenditure?layerType=DL The USSR hit 50.6% back in 1990. https://cvc.li/qFdef (page 24) The U.S. sits around 37% in 2024. https://countryeconomy.com/government/expenditure/usa China? Officially 24%, but closer to 36% (IMF) or even 41% (OECD), hard to pin down given opaque data. https://cvc.li/NCzcF But why compare France to countries where social benefits barely exist?
