MERDE! French doing it again

Let me try to make this clear. Some pompous French guy who allegedly rapes a maid O'Color is replaced at his job at something called the International Monetary Fund by another French person named Christine Lagarde who promptly tells the U.S. Congress they'd better get farther in debt or the financial world will collapse and other nasty consequences.

Well, merci flippin' beaucoup.

Here's one back at you. Take all the money in your "Fund" and pay back all the money the U.S. taxpayer has shelled out in the last 66 years to provide peace for your fellow Frenchers since the last time they dropped their guns and ran to the Patisserie.

Want ideas, Madame? How about if the U.S. immediately pulls its troops out of any foreign place that charges rent or use fees, such as Germany, Iraq, Afghanistan, South Korea, etc. etc; all congressional and executive pay, pensions and benefits are stopped until the budget is balanced; an import fee is placed on products from countries that have environmental, employment and legal requirements that are less than our job producers have to have; stop any school aid and/or benefits to foreigners until the budget is balanced and make April 15 election day. Angry taxpayers who vote petrify puffy politicians. De rein, Madame.
