France is PIGS and GUNS combined, into something not quite as good as either.
It’s crazy though because the French wish to maintain retirement ages at 62, maintain no austerity and expect the EU to shoulder the border for their greed?
As a Fleming who’s already paying for Wallonia and Brussels’ deficits, I am not going to be paying my taxes so that the French can live it up too on my back.
(Edit: notice the comments being mostly being mad frenchmen?)
That’s the whole deal, isn’t it?
The entire EU will be built around that glorious, innovative and forward-thinking German economy, as long as no one complains too much about French, Italian and Belgian debt levels combined with their retirement age at 49.
More or less why the whole of Europe is stagnant since the 2008 financial crisis, as Germany is of course incapable of any form of innovation, progress, or growth, and no one bothered to force France, Italy and Belgium into anything sustainable when it comes to their government finances.
Anyone crossing the border with Germany can see that they’re incapable of any form of progress, the problem is that they’re the biggest country in the EU. You can’t even blame the EU for it (like Barry did), as the EU is kidnapped by a state that is bankrupt and a state that still lives in the 1980s.

Let’s be honest here for a sec : Even if Germany somehow accept to pay for it, we will still end up in the same shit in a couple decades later on.
There are serious structural problem that needs to be adressed, and not doing so would still mean we live on credit.
But I don’t see that happening any time soon, with how the political system is structured right now.
if rest of Europe can take your money, why not us hans ?
You give me money, me give you nuclear umbrella & debts, deal ?
We are putting more than we are getting out in europe, and also we just had a terrible deal with the IS so german automaker could sell car with less tariffs so germany should be ashamed …
Honest question: where does this borrowed money go to? Retirements? Investments for future? Most sites tell me who the lenders are but not where it goes
I know nothing about economics
regretting Brexit. you’re telling me we could’ve just bullied Hans into being a pay-pig? unbelievable, why didn’t we think of that?
Germany hasn’t even spent 100 years paying back their Nazi debt. Sadly it was the yanks who spent to rebuild Europe. Let Hans pay for Pierre’s croissants!
You can regognise the legitimate businessman by the stacks of 500 Euro notes.
Given that Germany is ran on coal and french nuclear, I’ll say it will
Last time Germany tried repaying their debt to the French things didn’t go so well
Germany just wants French Nuclear for free and will try to use the “Benefits of a Federation” argument to offset the 7 decades of French investments into it.
Meanwhile they will want us to borrow on PIGS interest rates to buy more German Cars that were produced with German Interest Rates and with a Low Cost (Dumping) Salary base.
That said the French political system needs political reforms – we have way too much representation and it is costing us a forth e.
Just Greater Paris is 1276 communes.
We have 1 reprsentative per 113 citizens. Germany is about 1/500 and Japan is 1/3000!
Many of these people get massive paychecks until they die. Even if they only served for 3 mo this. If we were to move to a more Japanese level all of our budget problems would disappear
But instead we need to get rid of “social benefits that cost too much”
Germany is going to run out of money soon, we either suck it dry completely or let them waste it all on whatever they have been spending it on in the last quarter century
Simple: just give us back Elsaß-Lothringen and we have a deal
Germany wouldn’t even pay their part of a common project, and you expect them to pay our debt?
Ooh, all the comments here: zero humour, 100% irritation.
I like it!
I thought this was the reason the French drummed up the EU in the first place?

Watch us Germans commit to the European way:
Increasing debt without increasing productivity
Result: Germany is PIGS
