It is not exactly shocking that France is on the verge of having riots, as it is part and parcel to modern French culture. Apparently, changing the pension retirement age by 2 years is enough of a reason to have uproar.

This is the perfect example of why we are going to hit the wall at full speed instead of fixing the problems with government spending.
