LAnkou Nicols sarkozy (french liliputian nervous man): divide your income by two, multiply your expense by three

Not that I am expert on the subject, an certainly don´t want to startle you on the subject, because your opinion is quite obvious. But as a European very interested on what´s going in the french campaign for presidency, I am getting confused. It sounded more like you were describing the effects of socialist party member as the head of the government.
Working 35 hours a week, would definitely multiply expenses and threaten income.
I don´t remember who passed the law though.
Well sorry if I am off topic.

Good lord, it's a case of parallel evolution! This thread is specifically about negative wonders, unlike the Apolyton one which is far more general...

...Someone defend the thread!
