The NY Times is ripping on this guy for being a conservative.
What do y'all think? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE I guess in France they only work 35 hour work weeks. He wants to up that cuz the unemployment rate is high and the worker ambition is low. I guess whatever works. I think its good to have a little more time off of work, though. less than a 40 hour work week is plain lazy. period. france has gotten fat and apathetic from the strength of the labor unions in their socialist government over the years. I think this guy is on the right track to stop that crap. At least he has the intent...now whether that can be implemented... |
