The Office of the Prime Minister announced last Thursday the government spending will be frozen in value over the next three years. The only operational expenditure of the State "will decrease by 10% in three years with a 5% decrease from 2011. An effort of similar magnitude will be asked the operators of the state "said the press release announcing these goals. The message is meant strong, reassuring markets, rating agencies or the European Commission: the French government will tighten the belt giving the example of the necessary rigor to return to government deficits less abysmal. Bravo. François Fillon moreover, warned: "It will take hard decisions." Difficult yes, but for whom? For those who take them or those who suffer? If the belt of the state must surely be tight, and there is much room including the highest peaks of the latter, attention to what the French, already on edge, too stifle. These belts are not there and resilient too tight they can crack suddenly and violently, which is never desirable. Hervé
