If France falls, then who will be next economically speaking?

Sooner or later, you run out of other people’s money...

Socialist Hollande needs to learn that Socialism is an economic emergency.

[TexasGator]

France failed centuries ago.

[DungeonMaster]

More central planning to control the economy, what could go wrong?

[twister881]

Hollande is a Socialist @$$hat whose government and policies have caused France’s economic misery. Son shoots parents and then complains he’s an orphan.

French President Francois Hollande pledged Monday to redefine France's business model and declared what he called "a state of economic and social emergency," unveiling a 2-billion-euro ($2.2 billion) plan to revive hiring and catch up with a fast-moving world economy.

Wait, the BDI is plumbing new lows, China is crashing, world trade is at a near standstill (I read it on the interwebs) and he's trying to catch up with that?

I'm confused.

shocking!

wow!!! who would of thought that!?

[ClearCase_guy]

Gotta love it when a socialist pledges to redefine France’s business model.

I’m sure that will work out just fine.

[Popman]

Amazingly, libtards still think the US should be modeled after the European socialist model...

[Opinionated Blowhard]

He declares an emergency but just as quickly says that the 35 hour work week is sacrosanct and won’t be touched. That’s all you need to know.

” laid out plans for training half a million jobless workers”

I never understand tossing out of a bunch of cash for training. I mean it makes sense if there are 500,000 open positions in France where someone can be trained in a short period of time. But I doubt those jobs exist.

It’s not like they are training people to become doctors or accountants or computer scientists or plumbers or electricians. Those are no 4 week training sessions and someone is ready to roll. Plus shouldn’t their education system have trained these people to begin with?

If there are specific position available and training can provide skills to fill them, then great. And I am not talking government paper pushing jobs create just to increase employment. I am talking jobs that create value.

[SkyDancer]

Happens to socialistic countries when they run out of other people’s money.

[PGR88]

The French apparatchiks and socialist central planners are always coming up with “emergency” measures or “reforms.”

its part of the propaganda associated with their socialist governing model.

He stressed the need to integrate youth from France's troubled suburbs, including minorities who face job discrimination, into the global economy.

This plan fails!
