When you suck so bad that even the French say you suck...you suck.

Quote
LYON: Prime Minister François Fillon on Monday rejected demands that the French government seek to stimulate consumer spending, rather than follow his plan to stimulate corporate and infrastructure investment, to lift France out of its economic slump.

"It would be irresponsible to chose another policy, which would increase our country's indebtedness without having more infrastructure and increased competitiveness in the end," Fillon said in a speech in Lyon.

In other words, the Democrats and 0bama have a plan that is too socialistic for even the socialist French?

maybe a component of this is a matter of perspective (or perhaps environment).  maybe in france, where socialism virtually reigns supreme, it is widely viewed that government intervention in the economy must be part of the problem, and therefore, more socialism can't be the solution. 

while here, The Big Lie that the bawney fwank and nancy pelosi are floating is that the financial crisis is the result of overly free markets, thus statist intervention and more robust regulation is, in their view, just what the doctor ordered.

just a stray thought.  but you would think that this would dawn on someone in congress or the white house.

The world is a pretty f**ked up place when France has a conservative and America has a Marxist running things.  :banghead:
