For reasons that are unclear President Francois Hollande appears intent on destroying the French economy.
Why does he want to do that?
Could it be that he wants to lock in France's fate fully with Greece, Portugal, Spain et al thereby creating a level of economic failure so great (a form of critical mass) that the Eurozone cannot afford to expel these countries without an economic implosion, and using this as an opportunity to lead a breakaway movement from German dominance of the Eurozone?
