To All: If you were a grand juror, what would you ask the IC to ask Bubba for you? (Usually, the grand jurors get to ask the witnesses questions but in this case, they will not be present during the questioning.) My vote: "Mr. Clinton, When is it appropriate for the President to lie under oath?" JLA

You said on the other thread that France is feeling the effects of their Socialist movement. <<In France, they have paid health care, paid child care, average of 7 weeks paid holiday, paid everything including 2 weeks at government -run resorts. They've also now shortened the work week to 35 hours per week in order to try to reduce unemployment. This won't work because it's the overhead that's killing jobs, not the base pay rate. The idiot socialists think that cutting off the supply of willing workers (those employed) will force companies to pay higher wages and hire unwilling workers.>> Unemployment benefits in France average 80% of a worker's pay for the first five years. Where is the incentive to find a job?
