When he took office, 10 years ago, unemployment was hovering around 11.4% and today its around 10.2%. Certainly nothing to brag about. The old, qausi-socialist model simply doesn't work anymore. A good start to recovery would be to lift the red-tape and bureacracy of doing business in France with its "protect this" and "subsidze that" mentality. If Sarkzoy can hang in their till 2007, he will be a breadth of fresh air for a French enconomy that desperately needs to be reinvigorated. Its’ safe to say the Chirac has been a failure.
