    With deficits in the accounts and private and corporate credit dropping, Brazil looks like they are in serious shit.

    And of course if Brazil is in serious shit, that does not hold well for all of South AMerican. And of course....China, the Bolivian Socialists Movements savior is not doing so well to come to their rescue either. Socialism without private businesses to steal from will not flourish.

    But who the hell were expecting anything other than these figures.

    Messing with the market and telling lies to investors like Mantega has was bound to end in tears.

    Mr. Market will have his way in the end: he always does and nothing the idiot Mantega can do will stop it.

    @4 There is a difference between the wealth of the people and the wealth of a gov system. ESPECIALLY in a system with by far the lowest taxes in the developed world.

    There's not even a federal sales tax.

    The solution to the FEDERAL gov's problem is smaller fed.

    If living in the US is so bad perhaps you should move back to Argentina or even to Brazil! Sorry you probably won't be eligible to move Australia.... thankfully.

    Damn she always gets removed before I get a chance to read her rants. BTW, I find it highly unlikely she resides in the USA. I think she is a rogue troll....the Sussie Identity, The Sussie Ultimatum, The Sussie Supremacy and finally, who will be....The Sussie Legacy !!!

    This guy has been all over lately saying don't worry about what we are seeing now all will be well by the end of the year.

    I don't think anyone believes him

    Brazil has to fix their inflation, corruption and taxation problems before they could ever be considered a legitimate country.

    Maceil and Mantega both are denying Mr Market exists!

    As we both know, this will end in tears if they keep on with the denial.
