And to make things worse. France no longer has Saddam to sell reactors, and arms to in exchange for cheap oil. Poor widdle Chirac. His dreams all went up in smoke.

Answering my own question -- about $22,000 per person; still a good bit less than ours.

I don't think that question mark was a dollar sign. It's more likely to be Euros, trading at something on the order of $1.18 or so, I think, but am not certain.
To: george76
There are rumors that Standard and Poor's is about set to downgrade the debt of France.

You're looking at 1,342 billion US dollars. France has about 60-million people. That's about $22,300 bucks per person.
Considering the French pay about 65% of their income in taxes (at least)...geez, that's a lot of dough.
Maybe it's a little off. Last I heard, France had a GDP per capita of about $25,000 dollars.

France's public debt is spiralling out of control, according to a report commissioned by the French government...I can't even imagine how bad it must really be.
To: george76
Roughly 60% of GDP (~7 trillion / 11.75 trillion).

No wonder they didn't want to rid Iraq of Saddam. That cost them a zillion dollars...
