While France is set to INCCREASE defense spending (hey, is Reagan in charge there? It's not Mondale or Dukakis or Carter is it...)
"French budget faces €4B in cuts as Iran war hampers growth"
"The government is looking for ways to make sure its budget deficit — the gap between what it collects in taxes and what it spends — doesn't exceed 5 percent of gross domestic product, as Paris envisioned when it passed its 2026 budget. The French government is also trying to keep its promise to get that figure down to 3 percent of GDP, as required by EU rules, by 2029."
---Lofty ambitions: Punish the Citizens, with the goal of----being well over the EU standard for deficits.
"On top of the existing financial support to low-income households to pay their energy bills via a so-called "energy check," the government is doling out €70 million in fuel subsidies to the most-affected sectors this mont"
Wait - doesn't France have a "Higher Minimum Wage" ? Those bumper-sticker shouting Co-Exist Self Segregated White Liberals keep shouting "$15 an hour"---for a decade now. 1.)Why not bump that up for inflation --- or does it spoil your slogan? 2.)France not only has "higher wages" but they have more generous government health care. Yet still----more and more----need fuel subsidy. Yes, "First world" indeed ;) Giggle Smirk haha.
Anyhow, here's to future cuts to PENSIONS, HEALTH SYSTEMS, EDUCATION, and Green Energy.
Just like someone----has predicted on TMF for years ;)

The left has always been a hive mind that buzzes to a certain resonant frequency, but this board takes the cake: they start from a domestic political narrative then argue backward on how current events and perception fit it. It's remarkable.
