I like to think I’m a reasonably savvy observer of public opinion and international economics, but every so often I’m stunned by some bit of data.

Several years ago, for instance, I was very surprised to see that more than half of the French people would consider moving to the United States if they had the opportunity.

Well, the French have shocked me again. According to new polling data from Pew, the people of France support spending cuts over spending increases by a margin of 81-18, an astounding result.
