The head of the French economic council has some comforting words

  • French government is very committed to fiscal rules (snigger)

  • ECB should continue to keep very loose policy (hahaha)

  • France's situation is not as bad as in Italy (guffaw)

What a yard stick to use. "We're crap but we're not as crap a them, so that therefore makes us not that crap".

Only in Europe.
