france is the heart and the wallet of the eu because france isn't greece, or even spain. it is the eu. second only to the almighty germany in size. if either fall, the eu is done. and that's why the vote in paris is the story today. overnight, president francois hollande's socialist party got a voter mandate, winning an absolute majority in parliament. that's like controlling the house, the senate and the presidency. and hollande plans to use it. he has promised french voters the moon. this really isn't, everyone, about taking a side on the spending versus austerity as a national policy debate because the reality of it is is some of hollande's promises are simply extreme. like cutting the country's retirement age from 62 back to 60. that ties for the low nest europe, even though the french live longer than almost all other europeans. things like boosting the minimum wage when it's already an outlier. right now, minimum wage is $7,000 a month. and they do work fewer hours in france. and the new french president recently said this on tv -- >> translation? i do not like the
