France just erupted. Over 100,000 protesters from the "Block Everything" movement flooded the streets, clashing with police over brutal austerity cuts—frozen pensions, wage caps, slashed public services, and tax hikes. This is what happens when governments prioritize fiscal consolidation over their people.

Now look at New York City. Mayor Eric Adams just finalized a $112.4 billion budget loaded with austerity measures—cuts to early childhood education, libraries, affordable housing, sanitation, and hiring freezes for police and firefighters. The reason? A projected $12 billion migrant crisis cost over three years that's forcing the city into a 1970s-style fiscal crisis.

The parallels are chilling. Both France and NYC are slashing essential services while costs skyrocket. Both are experiencing political instability and leadership under fire. Both are pushing citizens toward a breaking point. France is showing us what happens when austerity goes too far—and NYC is on the same trajectory.

We revisit Bastiat's "The Law" to expose the pattern: legal plunder disguised as fiscal responsibility, social engineering that ignores economic reality, and government expansion that creates the very crises it claims to solve. When states abandon their biblical mandate to protect and serve, societies fracture.

What's the church's role when government mismanagement creates crises? How do we apply Romans 13 when leaders prioritize politics over people? Join us for bold, faith-driven analysis connecting France's austerity explosion to America's looming budget disasters.
