I think your theory of economics, like a famous French brand of fizzy pop, is pschit*.
the brand of fizzy pop is 'pschitt''
'pschit' is the onomatopoeic word for the sound made when the high pressured gaz is expelled through a smaller opening
'poop' is how it tastes...
interesting debate and i'm sure that I, like many find myself agreeing with a bit of each of what you are saying - not fence sitting, just unable to totally agree or disagree with the thoughts of yourself, Dally & Mintball & others
getting back to the original question - Is our Commie government losing the plot?
most people in France would agree that Sarkozy & co left the economy in relatively good nick when compared to the rest of europe but just wanted change plus our Carla didn't help the cause - about a month prior to the Hollande victory Sarko who was present at the G8 meeting signed up to the G8 idea that petrol prices must drop to encourage world growth and, lo and behold prices at the french pumps fell by about 6 or 7 centimes per litre a few days later
Mr Hollande comes to power and almost his first act in the first week in office was to introduce a new fuel levy to raise money and guess what ? the amount of tax added to pump prices was about 6 or 7 centimes.......
