Marine Le Pen (FranExit) [Macron wins French Presidency]

[paperino]

France is in deep trouble:

Before the Euro, France lived beyond its means and, as a result, had to regularly devalue its currency, to print fresh money to pay its debts. Each time the Franc fell, the French got a little poorer, but life continued.

Enter the European Monetary Union with its unified currency, the Euro, and its regulations. France could no longer run the printing press, but the Country of Good Sin kept living beyond its means, with government spending exceeding tax revenue. Since it couldn’t devalue the currency, France borrowed to support its lifestyle…and kept borrowing.

Today, France’s debt is close to 100% (96% in 2016) of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The following graph, shows how France differs from its neighbors. In particular, Germany’s debt is much lower and keeps decreasing:

In a not-too-distant future, France will have exhausted its borrowing power and will need to find money inside to reimburse its creditors.
Inside? Where?
Consider this overly-simple but relevant graph:

The poor don’t have any money. The rich are too few and too armed with legal and accounting tricks. All that’s left is the middle class, where population multiplied by income yields the only place a government can mine for tax revenue.

If Le Pen is elected, France could get a little less worse, but electing Macron could make France far worse. I'm rooting for Fah's favored candidate.

Le Pen isn't going to get 50% plus one and win the run off. Get outta here.

You better be right, Mr. Oracle. If you get it wrong again, you'll be a very lousy predictor.

Farage? Brexit?

Better question, do Brits want to be called European? Brits in general don't like to associate with Europe, look down on them and historically they've always treated them like third class citizens.

They joined the EU without a vote and exit with a vote which is the proof that they never wanted to be with Europe in the first place.

I didn't get this pic. Trump is a right wing and the other two are liberals.
