At least Germany and France are consistent, they consistently languish at
the bottom of the economic gutter.

Looks like Duhhh Villepin is good at getting nothing done.

10% unemployment if France and 12% in Germany. And yet the stoopit Euros
just don't get it. Without reforming the welfare state, they will never be
competitive. I predict 20% unemployment for both France and Germany soon.
