The French government sells something?

Bewildering excitement set in upon reading this (NYT):

France: Government Selling Stake in Utility. Shares of the state-owned power provider Électricitée de France went on sale [...]


I was about to launch a celebration dance, but then I finished reading the sentence:

[...] as the government sought to raise about $7.4 billion to finance the university system. [...] The money is earmarked for the public university system.


Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose!
