...those same French voters are famous for rapid political mood changes. Once the novelty of a situation has worn off, the French quickly readopt their famously corrosive spirit. His backers most want to see unemployment lowered (it's officially at 8% today) and purchasing power increased. But French economic growth, unlikely to exceed 2% in 2007, is too weak for that, and public deficits are still too high. Sarkozy's economic margin for maneuver is therefore much more limited than he would have liked...
...interest rate is almost certainly too high for the European Union's weakest economies. Germany's Economics Minister, Wolfgang Clement, recently urged Trichet to cut rates--so far, to no avail--and Italy's Welfare Minister, Roberto Maroni, even suggested that Italy should call a referendum on whether to readopt the lira. But after a meeting of the European central bank's council earlier this month that left policy unchanged, Trichet said the current rates were "appropriate" and "fully in line with what would be best to ... foster growth and job creation." The talk about Europe's dumping the euro...
...problem with having Chris more ably played is that his contradictions become apparent. He wants to whore around in Saigon, he wants to readopt the bourgeois values of home; he wants to marry Kim, he recoils at the thought; he wants to reunite with her, he wants to forget; he wants to raise the son they conceived, he wants to send support checks from 10,000 miles away. How can a man so weak-willed be worthy of a woman of such iron strength, one who braves seas, sharks, pirates and a thousand other perils to seek her lost love...
Administration sources also revealed last week that plans to readopt some of the mandatory controls of Phase II within the next few weeks are now all but completed. Just how far the Administration might go, even if Connally wins the policy fight, is not yet clear. At an extreme, the Government could once again require big corporations to get advance approval for price boosts. It also could reimpose some of the penalties that were slapped on price gougers during Phase II-for example, forcing them to make refunds to customers. At present, corporations are supposed to follow price guidelines...
...Reform Mayor "Chep" Morrison, has already felt his displeasure. By giving the state a bigger share of the city's income (sales tax, cigarette tax, revenue from horse racing), Earl's legislature has cut $3,000,000 of New Orleans revenue. It has ordered the city to readopt the aldermanic form of government (which New Orleans abandoned by referendum in 1912), thus robbing the mayor of almost all power...
