This story will be interesting to watch develop. France has posted a 3.0% deficit in 2002, which is a no-no under European Union rules.

The European Union currently has a cap on deficit spending at 3% of GDP. France's deficit was actually larger than 3%, but through some creative rounding and fuzzy math, they posted it as 3.0%.

I wonder if all these personal boycotts of anything French will come into play now?
