Ségolène Royal: Worse Than Chirac
Believe it or not, the leadership in France could be worse. Ségolène Royal, the Socialist Party's presidential candidate, has unveiled her platform. It calls for raising pensions, increasing the minimum wage to about $2,000 per month, guaranteeing a job or further training within six months of graduation to all university students, free contraception, $13,000 interest-free loans for all young people, and higher benefits for the handicapped.
How this will be paid for given France's moribund economy is anyone's guess. Maybe she thinks the USA will send them charitable aid. Certainly increasing tax revenues by letting the private sector generate wealth is off the table. Yelled Royal:
The unfettered rein of financial profit is intolerable for the general interest.
Actually the lack of profit, which leads to the lack of wealth, is in the interest of no one — except leftist politicians like Royal, Hugo Chavez, and the termites who make up our own Democrat Party.
Other plans call for ending the constant rioting and car torchings by suburban Muslims by reducing classroom sizes and offering workshops to teach parents how to discipline their children. Why didn't anyone think of that earlier?
On a tip from V the K.

You look at her platform:
- Raise the minimum wage.
- Soak the rich
- Smaller classroom sizes and taxpayer-provided tutoring
- Free contraception
None of this would be out of place in the platforms of Hillary, Barack, or John Edwards.
And yet Democrats hate it when you call them socialists.

"How this will be paid for given France's moribund economy is anyone's guess."
We know how it will be paid, with the import taxes on US products because we did not sign the Kyoto agreement. Then again, how will the French afford those items, who knows. I'm going to wait until they realize we stopped buying French items because of the taxes they put on our products. And they try to get another market as big as ours to buy their stuff.

It'll be paid for by the other members of the EU. Always is.

She sounds exactly like Hillary "I want to take those profits" Clinton.
A communist by any other name is still a stinking communist.

That's right Jimbo, they are all commies. The funny thing is that France suffered enormous losses in influence and clout after WWI. They never regained thier former prowess in economic, political, or military terms. Today, they choking to death what little remains of thier economic power with nonsense like this. They really don't seem to get it.

Re: Germaine Greer & Lefty-Lesbianism: You have missed the point completely on why girls try to become Hi-Profile Lesbos. You foolishly think it's about sex, or progressivism, or something. It's REALLY about BIG-BUCKS, as in tax-supported million$ started by Cong.Bella Abzug (who I knew) for "feminist"causes of the "correct" type. Hey, getting millions of Big-Govt Grants annually sure beats taking the subway at 7AM every morning,don't it? And it all comes from that nice DNC... UG
