Okay, but France is not known for its stellar economy or the prosperity of its people. Over here, at least, France is known for its stifling amount of government control when it comes to anything economic. It’s possible these things are related. (Just sayin’!)

Stellar compared to what? Anomalies like the US? Petrostates like Norway or Saudi Arabia?

By world standards France is doing fine.

The comment was a criticism of the US as compared to France. So you can’t write off the US as an anomaly because that comparison was the whole point!

The US is a large political entity and comparing it to France isn't fair. A better comparison is to the entire EU, both in terms of population and ecomomy. Where there's France there's states like Georgia which are neither the best nor the worst.
