It would appear that in order to appease the masses – despite his recent small bump in popularity post-Affair – France’s President Hollande has gone full Socialist-tard. Aside from promises to cut spending by EUR50 billion in the next 3 years (so less taxes?), Hollande has suggested…
- FRANCE’S HOLLANDE SAYS FRANCE MUST PRODUCE “MORE AND BETTER”
- HOLLANDE SAYS COMPANIES WILL IN RETURN BE GIVEN QUANTITATIVE TARGETS FOR HIRING, TRAINING
- HOLLANDE SAYS PUBLIC SPENDING CUTS CAN BE MADE WHILE PRESERVING FRENCH SOCIAL MODEL
Channeling Stalin, he further calls for “more economic governance of the Euro-zone” and the creation of a Franco-German energy company and more tax-harmonization with the Germans. We are sure Merkel will be over-the-moon at that suggestion.
So hitch up to Germany.. (and if they won’t then that’s a victory for nationalism also)
- *HOLLANDE CALLS FOR MORE ECONOMIC, SOCIAL COHESION WITH GERMANY
- *HOLLANDE SAYS GOVT TO CREATE 50,000 JOBS FOR YOUTH IN 2014
It’s just that easy…
So appease the peons with spending cuts..
- *HOLLANDE REITERATES THAT SPENDING MUST BE CUT TO REDUCE TAXES
then slam with Stalin-esque central-planning and control…
- *HOLLANDE CALLS FOR MORE ECONOMIC GOVERNANCE OF EURO ZONE
But in the interests of keeping his base happy… he clarified…
- *HOLLANDE SAYS HE HASN’T TURNED INTO A FREE MARKETEER
