From the odious Paul Krugman

Yes he truly is odious. Funny how he doesn't mention the pathetic 1% growth rate of the French economy and what that means to it's long term economic outlook. Economically Europe is behind us and falling behind faster and faster each year.

Funny how he doesn't mention the pathetic 1% growth rate of the French economy and what that means to it's long term economic outlook.

Of college graduates over the past five years in France, fully one-third can't find employment.

In France, jobs are an entitlement...and there aren't enough of them to go around.

As you point out, the impact of these policies over the long-term are yet to be felt. One of them is: inexorable decline.
