Not false at all. France isn't the only country like that in the EU but it is true that an overwhelming majority doesn't pay any attention at how is spent the taxes money and as a result, politicians have run big deficits for years accumulating giant amounts of debt.... and guess what, who will be hit the hardest the day the party runs out of punch and the gov wakes up with a hangover? Everybody will get a hit but clearly those who had the most to loose at the unleashed spending are precisely the very same regularly invoked to justify the spending... Look at who is paying in Greece. It is outrageous.
