41. Sarkozy will fail if he tries to fool with their social security net.

They protested in Paris when he tried to push through a labor law making it easier to fire younger workers who are under thirty. The official reason was that it would help lower unemployment rates for the under 30s by making them more attractive to hire.

What did the left in France do? They protested, loudly. Sarkozy was under so much fire he eventually retreated and abandoned the bill.

However, neoliberalism is on the march. The Netherlands privatized their health insurance program several years ago. The costs of health care have, predictably, started to rise.
