   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.
