– French Unemployment Surges By Most In 7 Months To New Record High (ZeroHedge, June 1, 2015):
Is it any wonder Marin Le Pen’s Front National Party is a) leading in the polls, and b) pushing for an EU in/out referendum? Whatever it is that France (and/or Europe) is doing, is not working.

Or, this is how Paul Krugman summarized the ongoing disintegration of Europe in 2010:

The entire western economy is sliding south.
How long before people realize the truth?

Capitalism as we knew it, is dead…..monopolies now control everywhere.
