French PM says world ‘on edge of abyss’

PARIS/LONDON, Oct 3 (Reuters) - French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said on Friday the world stood on the “edge of the abyss”, gripped by a global financial crisis now threatening industry, trade and jobs worldwide.
Fillon’s words echoed a growing sense of alarm sweeping EU capitals ahead of an expected U.S. Congressional vote on Friday on a $700 billion bailout plan for the financial industry. Approval is far from certain. [snip]

Monsieur Fillon, the French economy has been in the cloacae since the German Chowder and Marching Society showed up in Paris a couple hundred thousand strong.

After that excursion into French diplomacy, France employed Marxist economics, which is why you are such an economic powerhouse today.
How about working on your end of the problem, like firing the dead wood and killing off the leech unions. France might even find productivity in that mess.

Listen to Sarkozy, You have a chance of getting out of the ditch.
