All of the companies you mention have been kept alive by Govt funding. To say that the French economic model creates more prosperity than the U.S free enterprise system is ludicrous. France is a has been dying cultur and country with a bleak future ahead. You are obviously a socialist to make the inane comment you did, all the economic indicators point against a socialist economy long term, the evidnce against socialism is irrefutable.

Let's bookmark this and save it, and press it in a scrapbook, and then return to it five years hence, and ten, and fifteen, and twenty, and thirty, and fifty.
France isn't going to adopt the American model.
The Americans are confident in their own model.
So the two systems will co-exist and compete, side by side,
and at each step along the way, we will be able to make comparisons between the two.

Although I suppose that in 50 years in American perhaps the comparisons will need to be made en Espagnol, because the US government, driven by business interests who want cheap labor, relentlessly ignores some 75% of the American people's opinion about how the country should be governed. With the current labor law protests in France, and the impending government cave-in to the protestors, clearly no French government can govern against the will of 75% of the people the way that an American government can.

You have already written the obituary for France, so we will save the obituary, and we will keep dusting it off as the time progresses.
