Stagnant economy under a socialist regime. Who would have thunk it?

That is unexpected; any leftist will tell you that socialism works on paper. Who would have guessed that it would fail yet again in the real world?

I don’t understand. The French have raised taxes, increased spending and put in all kinds of regulations.

How can their economy be choking?

a team that is coherent with the course that he himself has set for our country

As if France were a sailboat or cruise liner and one man could steer her towards...sunset if these socialists get their way.

The utter hubris is not shocking, but the stupidity in thinking that a single man should be running an entire nation is. When will socialism die?

“raised taxes, increased spending and put in all kinds of regulations.’

Hmm, that sounds familiar.

The government has failed Hollande. He alone knows what is best for the people of France. It is a shame that the bureaucrats are too stupid to implement paradise

"Think anyone will notice"

Keep an eye on Marine LePen. She is coming on strong. Between the crappy economy and the muzzie invasion, the French have about lost patience. "Aux barricades! A bas les aristos!"

I very much agree. Mme. LePen has been moving up higher and higher.

I love France and the French, outside of Paris. It’s hard to understand how these lovely people can make such a hash of everything governmental.
