#1 Part of the price tag for the journalists?

#2 Since they're calling it a "Marshall Plan" I suppose they want us to pay for it.

I really hate those f*cking slimy French bastards!

#3 Sounds more like the Great Society than the Marshall Plan. Public housing projects, bussing and plenty of welfare for all. Will the dad's be the single parents under French sharia?

#4 If they're smart, they'll spend most of the money on electric fences.

#6 What ever happen to my pretty good society? People laughed at my WIN buttons but, hey! Looks like they worked! BTW I could whip Jimmuah the C in everything from chess to chineese checkers.

#7 and we all know how much good it does to dump money into ghettos. No doubt it won't go to police to stem the violence or loans to start businesses.

No, it will go to programs to teach the French how to understand the Muslims and grant money for useless projects that study how to deal with "religious extremism" and other such grant grasping crap.

#8 They owe US about $8 billion for their portion of the Marshall Plan still, don't they?

#9 More tax money that will not create revenues, so more tax burden on a country with a sluggish economy.

#11 If they're smart they'll pay a few mellow Sufi Islam preachering Turks to come on in and work the mosque circuit in the ghettos. Someones got to undo the Wahhabism and I just don't see French Haute Culture as the antidote.

#12 They don't need a Marshall plan... they need a martial plan.

#13 Typical French Government response to a social crisis: throw money at it. Dependency culture, anyone?

#14 Yeah...yeah...that's the ticket alright. Give the Muslims a taste of a Marshall Plan. God knows 60 years later France still unfailingly shows it's gratitude and support to the country that paid for the original Marshall Plan.
