Socialist Hollande defeats conservative Nicolas Sarkozy to be France's president

i've read comments by others who think this will create a bad market day tomorrow. i don't think it will have a discernible impact on the market.....
 
One nation, completely fucked, indivisible...

LOL, what a great time to elect a socialist. Let's see if France can dig itself into as big a hole as Spain.
 
Hey, look, now we can test out Dung's theory that Europe is hurting itself with austerity. Who dies first - the UK or France?

Nothing like a Mitterand disciple to ensure high unemployment for the next decade in France. All because the 'me me me' idiots want to be promised the world and not have to earn it.

Said as the austerity policies you favor are driving up unemployment everywhere they are tried.

Theory? It's a fact. You can argue that the short-term pain is worth it from a long-term perspective, but you cannot credibly deny that there is a lot of short-term pain associated with austerity.

lmao... sad is that your spend spend spend way has been tried and is what brought us to this point. It is the very point that you continue to fail to grasp. Sooner or later... you have to actually PAY.

Going to a Mitterand disciple is pretty much the beginning of the end of the Euro. The 'tax the rich' campaign goes into effect soon. Couple that with the removal of any semblance of responsibility and you can kiss French capital goodbye. Like I stated, you 'me me me' idiots are the downfall. One of the austerity measures they hate so much is pushing retirement out to 62 instead of 60. those measures do not affect the economy today... yet the me me me idiots continue to object to such changes. They could care less if their country can actually afford it. Just imagine what would happen here if we told everyone they could retire on government pensions at the age of 60.

Umm, the job market would open up dramatically for recent college grads? So you'd have 60 yo's on SS, and young people at work.

Yeah, that would be terrible. Imagine how it would decimate consumer spending...

That doesn't work real well when demographically you have far more 60 year olds and far less recent college grads.
