The cold hard numbers that determine the nations domestic production which is the same for every nation since it is simply Math according to France does not give it's nation a fair shake. With high unemployment, 35 hour week, 8 week vacations and many social and welfare factors holding it's GDP down it has decided to %26quot;fudge%26quot; the numbers to look a little more competitive. Instead of taking the mathematical addition of all it's national output it wants to quantify and give a monetary value to %26quot;happiness%26quot; and add that to it's posted GDP numbers.
What is your opinion - smart, dumb, pathetic???France is changing it GDP calculation to include a monetary Happiness number - your opinion do opine please?It is not a GDP calculation, it is a poll calculation.
If the president wants to be reelicted he needs to prove he has done a good job.
