Steph02, I like this story. It's good stuff. France having one of the most generous job benefits, next to Germany may be one issue of contention in why job cuts are necessary, when the "Benefits Pot" starts to cost more to the government than it is taking in, when record unemployment and the unemployed not contributing to the economy, the government has to find money elsewhere in providing social services, unfortunately the Goose that laid the Golden Egg is the Government Work Force, now unemployed, the government saving on their salaries will use that money for the New Unemployed for unemployment benefits and social services. Certainly a vicious circle which knows no end!
