The sale of yellow vests limited to avoid a "French contagion"
Astonishing but true: the French government employs 25% of the entire French workforce...
When there were riots in North Africa and Ukraine youtube had live stream's out their ass. Almost impossible to find any live stream, anywhere of what's actually going on in France.
But I thought big government leftism made economies better? Obama and French Obama said so.
#1 direct democracy: All we need is Joe-6-pack making policy to reach a Nirvana of social harmony. That works great in CA!
#2 less taxes. But remember we want the same benefits!
#3 ... and we want to close the budget deficit. Just because #2 would be too easy otherwise.
#4 regional power: because it's well know that regions in France are always managed like clockwork.
#5 we want more buying power but less efficient food production.
#6 because we want to buy German products made in Germany. This will restore jobs in France. And remember we also want more buying power.
#7 withdrawals of public media subsidy: so private conglomerates can decide what news we watch.
#8 And no Europe. We are big enough to close the deficit and buy German crap without any help.
Think you know the real France? Here are a few facts that may shock you:
• The French state has been bankrupt since 2004. A minister finally admitted it in 2013.
• French GDP hasn’t risen above 2% in 50 years. Yes - FIFTY. The average annual GDP growth rate between 1949-2018? 0.78%.
• In 2018, 14% of the population in France live below the poverty line (they earn less than 60% of the median income).
• Worse, more than 50% of French people have an annual income of less than €20,150 a year (about $1,900 US per month).
• The 'official' unemployment rate is 10% - about 3.5 million citizens (in reality, it's much higher).
• The youth unemployment rate is 22%. Yes, you did read that right.
• Astonishing but true: the French government employs 25% of the entire French workforce...and it's impossible to fire them.
• Because the citizens make such little money, they pay no tax. Less than 50% of French pay any in...
He created a private healthcare system
Obama: the only president that didn't grow the government:
But, he did a bang up job DOUBLING the national debt.
Hey, who lied about Obama being a big government leftist?
How does someone double the national debt without being big government? That's pretty much one of the definitions of being big government.
Goran_K saysHow does someone double the national debt without being big government? That's pretty much one of the definitions of being big government.
Ok so Reagan had a very big government.
W Bush had a big government.
Obama mostly paid for the continuing war expenses and salvaged the financial system from the damage done under his predecessor.
He's the only pres who reduced the # of gov employees. Fact.
big administration to big government
