And people are actually voting yes to this!!!

Now look at the housing market in france: http://www2.erepublik.com/market-house.html

Virtually no houses for sale! IS blocking all imports really the smart solution to give to all French a new house?

I have voted no and I appeal to all reasonnable French congressmen to do the same!

Vote here: http://www2.erepublik.com/politics_proposals-423-law.html and please say no.

Dan you are a reasonnable president, let us buy homes, its winter and its cold out there.

LOL, this president is very protectionism. And the result is: Bad for the economy.
If the mission of the president is an worsening economy, We are doing very good.

Actually, we could build them by ourselves. Thanks to this protectionism, our currency is still strong.

This is madness. France has to learn that free-market theories have not stopped with Smith and Ricardo, but have been enhanced by later economists like Hayek of Mises. Moreover, big french libertarians figure like Bastiat are completly unknown here whereas they're are famous everywere in the world. This economic policies smell like State University lessons, where every single idea is put at stake and considered as a "possible way to analyze the truth", for neutral point of view sake. The balance between all theories is more likely to lean on Interventionism, and protectionism (so-called "nationalisme économique"). Saving french industry is not the better way to provide french people the right to be happy they deserve. the Parti des Libéraux-Libertariens (french libertatian party) voted "NO" against these proposals.

As a Frenchman, I strongly approve of the general agenda of this article. Our country is making a big mistake in cutting itself from the rest of the world. It is a bad news for our economy and society. In fact, it is total madness !

I intend to oppose it as strongly as possible in my newspaper
