Sarkozy.......Gone.
 
Well, so much for the French moving to the right, as FoxNews trumpeted with the election of (Relatively) conservative Sarkozy a few years back. It would appear the French people have tossed him and replaced him with Hollende----A Soshialist.

Viva le difference! Sarkosy has done the same damage to the French that Bush did here ala big tax breaks for the rich. Good news as far as I can tell.

Austerity does not work. The average French citizen is sick of it. Austerity has damn near destroyed the British economy sending it into a double dip recession. The Greeks also booted their center right austerity President and put a President in that is against austerity.

If Republicans take this country over in November they will foist austerity on this country causing massive problems. Then we will see real anarchist crop up in this country, as the safety net for the 99% is torn down, to give huge tax breaks to corporations and the wealthiest in this country.

That may be a very good move.

The Greeks needed a dose of austerity to bring them back to reality.

They also need to stop the arms spree.

With time on my hands at the hospital I finished "Corporations are not People" the pitchfork shares may prove valuable.
