I come around once the thread is over, but just wanted to say that this is a great diary.
True, I was bound to say so as I've been issuing warnings for some time now that we should not let the French government come up with a counterfeit and even more dangerous version of a reaganite (or thatcherite) model.
If I remember correctly, this statement what criticised by yourself Jérôme, when I posted my latest diary on the topic.
I admit I was overdoing it, but it is what it costs to attract people's attention, especially when you write form Paris ;)
