French consumer spending (FRSNMANM) slid in November as surging joblessness and concern about the European debt crisis prompted households to cut back.

Spending fell 0.1 percent from October, when it rose a revised 0.1 percent, national statistics office Insee said today in an e-mailed statement. Spending fell 2.1 percent from the year-earlier period.

Stagnant household demand reflects concern about earning prospects amid rising joblessness and mounting concern that the euro area is entering a recession. President Nicolas Sarkozy’s renewed effort to trim the budget deficit at a time when Europe’s debt crisis is hurting confidence may restrain spending growth in the months ahead, economists have said.

“The French economy is likely to have stalled in the last quarter of 2011 given the sharp deterioration in confidence across the board,” according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

In case you did not know it.

That was the month of October simple-ton,...

Spending fell 2.1 percent from the year-earlier period.

The fact that the eurozone manufacturing has declined for 5 months running, and will likely continue this trend at an even faster pace,.. does not bode well for the french unemployment rate,..... advice - buy seeds now, and plant a vegetable garden in the spring.

You might want to consider "choking a chicken" or two,.... LOL

What is sure is that I never see in France old people sleeping at night in their car as I saw when I visited Los Angeles 15 days ago.

That's cause you killed most of them a few summers ago during a heatwave.

Still less than the yearly number, since a century, of US innocent citizens killed by gunfight, in the streets, at school or at home.

that's because you frogtards just kill off your old people every time the temps go over 80 Farenheit.

Do you still accept Reichsmarks as payment on your route? Paper or coins?

Then I suggest you open your eyes frogster. I saw one of them sleeping under a bridge just at Christmas, I walk my dog along that way regularly you see; he's always there; that's his home at night. He keeps his 'belongings' neatly stacked in a cardboard box under the bridge during the day. Left a few 'goodies' for him in his cardboard box - pas grande choses, mind you but something. Who knows, seems like a private guy, but maybe one day I'll find out why he's under the bridge. There's a story there, but I figure most fat indulgent kermit bastards like you don't want to even know. (conveniently).

Now take a laxative and fuck off to the lavvie and make sure there is plenty of bog roll. It's high time, kermit cunts like you sure have got a lot of shit to get rid of, cos you're full of it.

That's cause they can't afford cars in france, and you stand a good chance of burning to death in it if you try sleeping there.

You clowns just let your armies have guns so they can kill each other by the 10's of millions every generation or so. Makes America's gun deaths look insignificant by comparison.

I just love debating Europeons. Just about everything they accuse Americans of they have done far worse and for much longer. Ha ha ha ha ha ha !!!!! Hubris on a grand scale.
