A little bit off topic, .. but is this headed our way in the distant future?

If it is, ... I dont think we have an administration strong or smart enough to make the right choices for the American People in office right now.

France unveils tough budget, Spain's Rajoy wins time.
By Daniel Flynn and Julien Toyer.
PARIS/MADRID | Fri Sep 28, 2012 1:37pm EDT.



(Reuters) - France unveiled an austerity budget that would tax business and the super rich, but a report showing Spain's banks needed a manageable 59 billion euros in new funds bought time for Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy as he seeks to avoid a bailout.

Socialist President Francois Hollande's 2013 budget amounts to France's toughest belt-tightening for 30 years as the debt crisis takes its toll on the euro zone.

The package aims to narrow France's deficit to 3.0 percent of national output next year from 4.5 percent this year, bringing in 30 billion euros ($39 billion) for the treasury.

But the budget dismayed business by opting for tax hikes -- including a 75 percent tax on those earning over one million euros a year -- by holding public spending and not cutting government jobs.
