Wow, are socialists in France actually realizing you can't give away the farm and expect to survive? You have to wonder why liberals in the United States resist a balanced budget amendment? I do hope the US left loon idiots wake up before it's too late. http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/08/17/us-eurozone-reaction-france-idUSTRE77G1RU20110817 Socialist Francois Hollande, a frontrunner for France's 2012 presidential election, said his party wanted a national debate on writing deficit controls into the constitution if Europe demands it. His apparent shift on the so-called "golden rule" -- which the Socialist Party had so far flatly rejected -- came after French and German leaders announced on Tuesday that all euro zone countries would be asked to vote on adopting such a rule by mid-2012.
The writing is so bad I can hardly make sense of this report. I think what they are trying to tell us is that the French socialists may oppose the idea of a balanced budget. If so then I can only say that socialists in the mother country are just as stupid as their children here in America. We need a balanced budget amendment to force the politicians to live within their means.
