World Bank Protest

In a desperate move to save his nation from a credit downgrade and economic collapse, France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy is on a warpath of budget proposals for the new year that will tighten the Parisian belt and ward off the fear of fleeing investors.

While the credit rating issues in France are different somewhat from the downgrade the United States recently faced, the same issues remain in both, and seemingly all of the top western states, and that is the reliability and destructibility of big banks on a nation’s economy.

The 'Occupy Wall Street' protests in the US and elsewhere are a clear indication of the various moods and sentiments of the people of these states, where private enterprise and initiative seem to control, manipulate and dictate law, economics and general modes of life. How and when will it end?
