    It would be a research project, for sure. I pay attention to politics in both the US and Europe (and also the Middle East and sometimes East Asia), but even then it's hard to remember so many names. Some of my favorite European politicians are Estonian, for example, but I can never remember their names.

    Et alors ? Ca reste fort bas comparé à d'autres pays, ou aux grands chefs d'entreprises
    Un homme politique n'est pas un chef d'entreprise, et lorsque l'on annonce à sa nation q'une crise financière arrive et qu'il vaudra se serrer la ceinture tout en dépensant de l'argent pour relancer l'économie (si si, véridique) après avoir augmenté son propre salaire, ça l'a fout très mal...

    Ah bon ? Avec l'impôt sur la fortune qui a fait fuir tant de Français riches vers la Belgique et la Suisse ?
    Il a fait beaucoup de cadeaux aux grandes fortunes françaises de puis 4 ans, et personne n'est rentré à la maison...lorsqu'on aime son pays, on râlera peut-être sur le taux d'imposition mais on restera dans son pays, lorsqu'on est un requin, on se casse à Monaco où en Suisse...

    Pourtant la dette publique de la France est une de celles qui a progressé le moins dans les pays occidents après la crise financière. La France s'en sort bien mieux que les Etats-Unis, le Royaume-Uni, L'Espagne, et bien sûr l'Irelande, le Portugal et la Grèce
    Tu confonds "dette publique" et "frais du gouvernement", et si on s'en sort pas trop mal, c'est grace à notre système ultra sécuritaire en matière d'investissement...système que beaucoup de personnes de droites veulent alléger...

    Je n'ai pas entendu parlé de ça. Mais ça reste dans la catégorie "faits divers". Ca n'a aucune importance en ce qui concerne la gestion politique et économique du pays
    "Fait divers"? Dignité, respect, diplomatie, ça te dit quelque chose?

    Ce n'est pas du "chômage", mais une sorte de rente ou de salaire à vie. Qu'est-ce que 3000 euro pour un député, quand une personne non qualifié (par exemple quelqu'un qui n'a pas même pas terminé l'école primaire) peut toucher 1000 euro/mois de chômage, plus ou moins à vie aussi ?
    Ce commentaire montre bien que tu ne connais pas notre système actuel (comme sur d'autres sujets)...

    It's forbidden to debate with him?
    My opinions are differents, his point of view about France is very strange for me, and i don't have the right to reply?
    I have to "Piss off" in front of his comments?

    And where did i discredit him?

    Il a augmenté son salaire avant la crise. Injecter de l'argent dans l'économie est une bonne chose pour relancer la consommation.

    Il a fait beaucoup de cadeaux aux grandes fortunes françaises de puis 4 ans, et personne n'est rentré à la maison...lorsqu'on aime son pays, on râlera peut-être sur le taux d'imposition mais on restera dans son pays, lorsqu'on est un requin, on se casse à Monaco où en Suisse...
    Cadeau ou pas, si les gens fortunés partent c'est qu'ils se sentent "opprimés" (tout est relatif) par le système actuel. La France est le seul pays avec un impôt sur la fortune. Et puis, vivre à Bruxelles, Genève ou Monaco, c'est presque être en France. Les gens ont le droit de s'installer ailleurs s'ils le désirent, fortunés ou pas. Je ne vois pas l'intérêt d'être ultra patriotique au point de ne jamais quitter son pays. Personnellement j'ai vécu dans 8 pays différents, et je pense que c'est une expérience intéressante et enrichissante. En outre, tous les gens fortunés résidant en France ne sont pas nécessairement français. La France, surtout Paris, la Provence et la Côte d'Azur, attire énormément de gens aisés du monde entier. Pourquoi ceux-ci devraient-ils rester en France si on les taxes abusivement par rapport à ailleurs ? S'ils quittent la France, ils ne payeront plus du tout de taxes en France, ne consommeront plus en France, et par conséquent ce sera autant le gouvernement que les commerces locaux qui en pâtiront.

    L'impôt sur la fortune est une erreur stratégique phénoménale du gouvernement français. Mais comme ça profite au pays voisin, dont la Belgique, je ne m'en plains pas.

    "Fait divers"? Dignité, respect, diplomatie, ça te dit quelque chose?
    C'est un incident entre deux individus au sein de la société, comme il y en a des milliers tous les jours. Ca n'a aucune influence sur le reste du monde. Donc c'est un simple "fait divers".

    Ce commentaire montre bien que tu ne connais pas notre système actuel (comme sur d'autres sujets)...
    Je connais surement mieux la France que beaucoup de Français. J'ai voyagé dans presque toute la France, j'ai de la famille en France, et visiblement je fais moins de fautes d'orthographe en écrivant que certains.

    It would be morally wrong, but if it is the best alternative for the economy and ends up increasing the general welfare of society, then it can probably be deemed a good thing. As for being utilitarian, it is true that I have been influenced and strongly adhere to most of Jeremy Bentham's ideas. Bentham is one of my favourite philosophers, along with Bertrand Russell.

    Et pourtant c'est grâce à l'épargne des Français durant la crise financière que notre économie n'a pas trop souffert. Nous sommes l'un des pays au monde où les habitants ont le plus d'argent sur leurs comptes, ce qui rassure les banques pour les prêts à grande échelle, donc taux d'intérêts peu élevés...

    Par expérience personnelle, et surtout celles de quelques amis, je te l'assure, c'est faux...

    J'ai toujours pris plaisir à lire tes commentaires sur "l'Histoire" de mon pays, mais nous sommes en 2011, et peut-être que tes connaissances sur notre politique et notre système social ne sont plus d'actualité...

    Actually, unsurprising... is there a regional variation of opinion in France, which would lead VonRoust to conclude that "Nobody think that here"?

    US media's coverage of DSK case shocks France

    DSK could wait 'months' for trial


    It seems odd to me that all you have to do is accuse somone of a crime to have them locked up in jail for 6 months or more waiting for a trial?!?

    Conspiracy Theory Warning!

    "Less attention has gone to the fate of another project close to DSK's heart: weaning the global financial system off of the U.S. dollar. DSK had been a vocal proponent of using the IMF's de-facto currency, the Special Drawing Right, as a way to diversify countries' reserve pools away from the U.S. dollar.

    ...the idea of expanding the role of SDRs as one among several global currencies has slowly gained traction as more emerging economies like Brazil and China voice their support.Their backing is partly a way to chide U.S. officials for abusing the dollar's dominance through loose monetary policy (which stokes inflation in emerging markets)...

    Whoever takes the helm at the IMF will have to contend with this issue sooner rather than later, since the stability of the world's financial system lays in the balance.

    Of course there are naysayers who still think the dollar will remain the only viable option for decades to come, especially in light of the euro's recent plight.

    As their foreign exchange reserves grow, emerging economies will be more motivated to scrap a dollar-dominated system for one that offers less risk and more payoffs to the world's new economic powerhouses.

    No wonder then that the U.S. is keen to maintain its role as the world's only global reserve." source

    It's a big laugh. Sarkozy is a known CIA agent. Of course the CIA wanted to frame DSK.

    It's of course too easy to get the main Socialist presidential candidate of France.
    Simple tricks. They did it with other older politicians!.

    Don't buy that shit!

    My thoughts exactly, it is a bit like the Bin Laden fiasco, the longer it goes on and the more information comes out the more confusing, ridiculous and suspicious it all seems. I have no idea why or who but it is beginning to look like a set-up.

    ...becaus it couldn't be a simpler explanation, like he is an old sexual pervert, righ?

    Allegations of sexual misconduct

    In 2007, Tristane Banon, a French journalist and writer, accused Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her in 2002, but she did not press charges.[32][33][34][35] As of 17 May 2011, mainstream media were reporting that Banon was preparing to file a legal complaint relating to the alleged attack.[36]
    In 2008, the IMF Board appointed an independent investigator following allegations that Strauss-Kahn had had an affair with a subordinate, Piroska Nagy, who was married at the time to economist Mario Blejer. Nagy alleged that Strauss-Kahn had used his position to coerce her into the affair.[37] She was later made redundant and Strauss-Kahn assisted her in getting a new job.[38] The IMF board issued the findings of the investigation; while noting that the affair was "regrettable and reflected a serious error of judgment on the part of the managing director", the board cleared Strauss-Kahn of harassment, favoritism or abuse of power, and indicated that he would remain in his post.[39][40] Strauss-Kahn issued a public apology for the affair. Le Journal du Dimanche dubbed him "le grand séducteur" (the Great Seducer).

    You may well be right, but at the moment we have no idea what really happened.
    Although the media have already passed sentence, in the eyes of the law he is still innocent until proven other wise.

    At the moment an 'innocent' man is in jail and has resigned his position in the IMF and most likely lost the possibility of becoming French PM.

    If he's a sex mad rapist then he's getting what's coming to him. If he is in fact innocent then you'd have to say there is something very wrong with the American judicial system and the western media, that a mere accusation can destroy a mans life?

    Funny that with big court cases all these stories start coming out, any yet 9 years have passed and she did nothing.

    There has been research done that shows that as much as 1 in 5 married couples in the United States has cheated on their partner or roughly 20%. If your saying having an affair makes you a sexual deviant then you better lock up 20% of the population. The fact he had an affair is irrelevant to the charges against him.

    J'ai étudié l'économie, je sais quand même comment ce genre de chose fonctionne.

    Peut-être, mais as-tu au moins pris la peine de vérifier ce que tu as écris sur les indemnités chômage?
    Par expérience personnelle, et surtout celles de quelques amis, je te l'assure, c'est faux...
    Le montant des allocations de chômage n'est pas fixe. Il y a beaucoup de facteurs qui sont pris en compte. Le chômeur est il une personne isolée ? Est-ce un chef de famille avec 5 enfants ? A-t-il déjà travaillé avant ? Quel était son dernier salaire ? Ce dernier point en particulier est déterminant. Quelqu'un qui gagnait 6000 €/mois et perd son emploi va obtenir des allocations plus élevée que quelqu'un qui ne gagnait que 1500 €/mois. Pour en revenir aux députés, ils gagnent environ 5300 €/mois, ce qui est moins de la moitier des parlementaires italiens (12000 €/mois) et moins qu'en Allemagne, en Autriche, en Belgique, aux Pays-Bas ou encore au Royaume-Uni. Donc les politiciens français sont parmi les moins bien payés d'Europe occidentale. Mais ce n'est rien comparés aux parlementaires américains, qui eux gagnent 14500 $/mois. Quand à Sarkozy, son salaire est de 21000 €/mois, pas plus qu'un commissaire européen, et 50% de moins que le président des Etats-Unis, et 75% de moins que le premier ministre britannique.

    Mais comme je l'ai écrit plus haut, un des traits de caractère les plus évident du Français est qu'il est râleur (et envieux des autres). Aux Etats-Unis ou au Japon, les gens font tout pour montrer qu'ils ont de l'argent (vêtements de marque, grosses voitures, etc.). En France, les gens essayent de cacher leur richesse pour ne pas inciter la jalousie des autres. Ce sont des mentalités radicalement opposées. Les premiers admirent le succès des autres, tandis que les Français s'en offusquent, les envient et les critiquent. Personnellement je trouve la mentalité française (qui est identique en Belgique d'ailleurs) particulièrement malsaine.

    ...the idea of expanding the role of SDRs as one among several global currencies has slowly gained traction as more emerging economies like Brazil and China voice their support.Their backing is partly a way to chide U.S. officials for abusing the dollar's dominance through loose monetary policy (which stokes inflation in emerging markets)...

    Whoever takes the helm at the IMF will have to contend with this issue sooner rather than later, since the stability of the world's financial system lays in the balance.

    Of course there are naysayers who still think the dollar will remain the only viable option for decades to come, especially in light of the euro's recent plight.

    As their foreign exchange reserves grow, emerging economies will be more motivated to scrap a dollar-dominated system for one that offers less risk and more payoffs to the world's new economic powerhouses.

    No wonder then that the U.S. is keen to maintain its role as the world's only global reserve." source

    .....no comment

    you have a point by that,
    the problem is that EU and USA keep strong currency,
    and they don't raise chinese and Brazilian and Mexican,

    simply I still don't get why,
    and since IMF is International, why does not help to restore the balances,
    USA has an (I could say) untrusted in economy, but strong in military and power currency,
    EU has a non flexible, heavy trust currency, that helps who? surely not mediocre and smaller economies, but some companies of multinational face,

    the unemployment's public help in currency balances is stronger than the salary of a heavy worker in 3rd world,

    situations will go worst if you think that day by day money through Banks gather in few people,

    the only thing that can help Euro is that some economies raise their currency,

    I had read before time an article by a small unknown non famous university that if China raise currency values by 30% in Usa new industrialization era will start,
    and if Brazil raises only 15% the balance with Euro the next day millions of south Europeans will start to gather fruits,
    a 10% raise of Brazil currency will hurt only some heavy industries like car cause Eu will have some parts expensive but will help millions of EUropeans farmers especially in Mediterenean,

    yet instead of making EUro more flexible, we make it harder, just to help corporations that want to gather EU money to buy and invest outside EU,

    and IMF could not help to that, but mostly became a foundation that control and help secure the money before a collapse of country,


    in numbers,

    in Greece million of tones of kiwi, peach, and orange rot in fields and pollute the surface water with extra demanding BOD (oxygen demand)
    and yet Brazilian oranges enter with forms of frozen columns to become juices!!!!!
    because Euro is strong,
    policies like that lead to where,???

    Allegations of sexual misconduct

    In 2007, Tristane Banon, a French journalist and writer, accused Strauss-Kahn of attempting to rape her in 2002, but she did not press charges.[32][33][34][35] As of 17 May 2011, mainstream media were reporting that Banon was preparing to file a legal complaint relating to the alleged attack.[36]
    In 2008, the IMF Board appointed an independent investigator following allegations that Strauss-Kahn had had an affair with a subordinate, Piroska Nagy, who was married at the time to economist Mario Blejer. Nagy alleged that Strauss-Kahn had used his position to coerce her into the affair.[37] She was later made redundant and Strauss-Kahn assisted her in getting a new job.[38] The IMF board issued the findings of the investigation; while noting that the affair was "regrettable and reflected a serious error of judgment on the part of the managing director", the board cleared Strauss-Kahn of harassment, favoritism or abuse of power, and indicated that he would remain in his post.[39][40] Strauss-Kahn issued a public apology for the affair. Le Journal du Dimanche dubbed him "le grand séducteur" (the Great Seducer).

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominique_Strauss-Kahn
    An unconvincing argument LeBrok and there is only one proven allegation here, that he had an extra-marital affair. Big deal, thousands do it everyday and it doesn't make them sexual perverts. The rest are all unproven allegations, no-one can hang a person on that and as has already been said, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the current case.

    I'll be reserving my judgement until something that actually makes sense comes to light, more concrete than the gossip and rumour mongering that is currently being circulated by the media.

    Right, you just have to study someone's biography and then you can think about a method how to trap him. For example, if I had found some evidence that DSK consumed cocaine during his younger years, I would try to tempt him to purchase and consume some cocaine. Then I would try to think of an occasion to make him drive a car to a certain place just two minutes away. Then I will involve him in a car accident and one second later push a small child infront of the car. Et voilà, next day the head-line will be: "Cocaine-crazed DSK attempted to kill small child with stolen car!"

    No, I just wanted to show that only by looking into one's biography is not prove enough to say he or she is a bad person. If DSK cheated on his spouse, this is no prove he is a pervert and potential rapist. Every person has done the one or other mistake in his life. And if I was a bad person, I could take this as an advantage to put him into serious trouble.
