“French officials angrily rejected a charge by Britain’s The Economist weekly on Friday that France was the ‘time-bomb at the heart of Europe’ and a danger to the euro single currency, accusing the magazine of sensationalism.  French public spending accounts for 56 percent of gross domestic product, the highest level in the euro zone, and public debt reached 90 percent of GDP this year. Hollande’s deficit-reduction strategy is based two-thirds on tax increases, much of it on businesses, and one-third on spending cuts.”
