Once we have democracies people will not support austerity programs.
Poor Joe Scum is trying to view Hollande's approach as unrealistic.

(37,648 posts)it must be fair. In a democracy. Otherwise, the people won't stand for it.
It's similar to the 99% position here in America. Fairness is the operative word.

I loved the smirk on Zbig's face as he was "schooling" Joe about democracies and the perception of "fairness." He knew damn well that Joe can't debate him without looking foolish. So Joe doesn't try. He just starts braying about something else.

(63,926 posts)Do you remember when Dr. B told Joe he was "stunningly superficial" in his arguments?
Joe has a colossal nerve trying to debate Dr. B. It shows you how stupid he is. Zbig is known for making mincemeat of some of his most brilliant students (which sure didn't include Joe)!
