The man who led France into war with Libya is now unemployed.
He’s been voted out, being replaced by Francois Hollande, a “normal man” who happens to be a Socialist – and thinks the way for Europe to solve its economic problems is more spending on government stimulus programs funded by the printing money type of borrowing.
In a similar spirit, the voters in Greece threw out the parties that were supporting the austerity programs imposed primarily by Germany with the agreement of Sarkozy.
Germany now is in the uncomfortable position of having both countries poised to drain out the German treasury via the European Central bank and the Eurozone bailout fund.
People have been fretting about Greece leaving the Eurozone. What they should be really thinking about is the possibility of Germany leaving it. All the old hatreds are going to rear their heads shortly. You’re only going to keep carrying your deadbeat brother in law so long before you say “enough is enough”.
Within our federal association we have the same game going on. Detroit is over the precipice, some Wisconsin are determined to follow suit. Many of the cities have been inducted into slow decay by responsibility avoiding, austerity hating socialist/democrats. In due course the new precious metal will become lead, some of us may refuse to stop paying taxes en-masse (perhaps paying into a national escrow account – sort of conservative hopey-changie). The fact is it is always about the power and the money by a nose. Washington and the state capitals don’t care about public order, justice or the American way at all – just the do’h.
Q: How many Socialists does it take to screw in a light bulb?
A: 6 billion – one to hold the bulb and the remaining billions to rotate the planet.
Sarkozy deserves to lose! He could have made a deal with Marine Le Pen and retain control but chose instead to become the designated loser. The house of dominoes is falling and the USA in in the path.
“FORWARD La FRANCE ” Oh yeah that’s what they need. The Muzzies Flourish in the ‘Benefit hand out’ environment. They already have a foothold in France, watch as they will really flex some muscle now.
If we do the same thing again this fall with ‘Mao Lite’ we’re finished. I will burn everything I own before I let the government come and take it and sell it off. If I cannot own it, no one else will.
This is not going to turn out good, for us or anyone else, at all !

Hear, hear
a “normal man” who happens to be a Socialist – and thinks the way for Europe to solve its economic problems is more spending on government stimulus programs funded by the printing money type of borrowing.
Now if you delete “normal” and Europe It sounds exactly like our Congress and Obama. Or is is just me ?
Don’t you know the way out of poverty is spending? If all you make is $3000/mo you need to spend $5000 to “stimulate” the economy. Then you go and break all the glass you can find at the mall and the glass manufacturers and by proxy, others will benefit from the work you create. Mr. Keynes and Mrs. Piven are right.
