Desperate move... It's a desperate move and it may not be that smart in face of ever faster wireless. The problem with France is that for years they were bragging that they were the "4e plus grand puissance du monde" (world's 4th most powerful nation). Now they're fifth. By the end of Hollande's first mandate they'll be sixth (Brazil passing in front of them). If Hollande is re-elected, France could very well be out of the G8 by 2022 (ouch: three more places lost). Germany today said that french people only working 35 hours a week and only until 60 years simply isn't going to cut it. Oh, sure, it may somehow work. But not if you plan to stay relevant compared to the other countries. These are more words by Hollande: some more little faerie dust to dodge and delay discussing the real issue. Most notably: public spending representing 56% of the GDP and the private sector being taxed like crazy and which, hence, keeps shrinking and shrinking.
