This guy is writing a bad joke. Paraphrasing...

"France is in terrible shape. We've voted in a system that has an enormous regulatory environment that stifles business and kills small and medium size endeavors, which move to the US if they are to succeed.

But it could be worse, we could be the US."

Okay. Sure. That makes sense.

Most of Europe feels that way for better or worse.

Do you mean, they lament their own over regulation, while disparaging the US that has recently been tearing up regulations?

Seems pretty self defeating to me. But I guess that's what you mean, for better or worse.
