According to a series of reports from the Court of Auditors, several public services such as health, education or the integration of young people, are in great difficulty. The France isit a punctured basket of public services? On the plateau of 11 p.m., Etienne Lefebvre, editor-in-chief at Echos and Christophe Ramaux, professor at the Sorbonne and member of the appalled economists, try to answer this question.
Etienne Lefebvre does not think that there are too many public services in France, nevertheless, he considers that there is a real problem of efficiency and that public service agents are the first to suffer from it. He thinks than, at first, few reforms deletion who accompanied the budget cuts in the public service. Etienne Lefebvre explains that the France has a level of expenses higher than the euro area average. He precise that it would be necessary that the country put more money in areas where spending is the lowest, such as justice or health.
Christophe Ramaux does not share this approach and considers that spending on health, justice or culture should not be considered as “costs”. Christophe Ramaux explains that a quarter of public spending goes to pay civil servants’ salaries. In a second time, he specifies that public expenditure is not a part of the GDP and is used to supply household income, pensions and family allowances.
