Don’t laugh too hard. This is not much different from the ridiculous economic development agencies, boards, etc. that we have here. The chamber of commerce types go on nice trips on the taxpayer’s dime in order to bribe companies to relocate to some state, city, or town, for what? Why to create jobs, of course! It’s like the old Soviet 5-year plans with a different name.
If I owned a business, I would sue my local government for using my money to bring in competition that gets a better tax deal than I do. We have hundreds of industrial parks that small cities and towns built to lure business to the community, and they have all failed miserably.
The only thing that creates wealth and jobs is the free market!

Sounds like Hollande is hoping to be able to sell reams of government bonds to the ECB soon...
I was struck by the WP headline:
France offers to let companies hire young people on its dimeThe notion that "France" has some store of dix-centimes that it can freely dispose of is so perverse. "France" is making no such offer. Some French politicians are proposing borrowing money so that they can bribe some selected French companies to hire "young workers" (like 35 year old "student" Sandra Fluke?) to perform work that would not otherwise be performed and then, after these politicians are safely out of office, the no longer young workers can try to figure out how to pay back the loans. I know! They make the Germans pay for it!!! Why aren't we fool Americaines just half so clever and wise as those sophisticated Francois?
The Washington Post cannot cease publication too soon.
Coming to an Obama Second Term near you...
