Wow yankeeboy, you are more naive than thought. I guess Embraer must be bribing the US, I didn't realize Brazil was so strong now to bribe the world's biggest economy. Oh well, I guess being of the biggest creditors to the US has it's preks ;)

Actually the biggest creditor to the USA is the USA in the shape of the Federal Reserve followed by China (although sometimes swaps place with Japan) and then in 3rd place is Japan and 4th place is Great Britain and finally in 5th is oil companies.

# 20 - Just to teach you a little bit about economy, curency devaluation is good for Brazil, it makes exports cheaper and more competitive. Having a currency which is highly valued is the main reason why imports increase and exports decrease. And as far as currency goes, China is LOL at the US with all the major deals it has made, from Australia to Brazil, to drop the dollar and exchange in domestic currencies. As far a recovery of the US economy with a debt higher than it's GDP, good luck with that, and good luck with losing your rights in the US in the name of fighting terrorism.

Yankee (mexican) idiot, still stuck in the bogus left vs right paradigm.
Brazil might try to devalue it's currency but it doesn't work, so far it stayed stable (though they still try to manipulate it with words, but it's not working). The real issue is the US, It's the US who is in the race to devalue the US dollar to inflate themself out of the mess we are in, but it will hurt us in the long term..that's why the so called BRICS nations are trying to set up something to get out of the dollar / to do business outside the dollar. As I typed before, we are in a currency war.

He is now bad-mouthing Roberta Jacobson, Assistant U.S. Secretary of State for Latin America, over her looks FFS as if that has anything to do with it! “Talk about biting the hand”, ungrateful bastard.
But there is no persuading such ‘experts’ and as long as Dilma keeps the prat in post things will most definitely get worse for Brasil.

Too many poor lazy people living in slums, until that goes away they'll never make it.
They tend towards Socialism but that doesn't work with lazy populations or huge oil reserves AND IT HAS BEEN WELL PROVEN.

It seems like some people still don't understand the whole issue of currency devaluation, so let me try to explain it in easy terms so some troubled people here can understand. If the Brazilian Real is valued to strongly compared to the dollar, products in Brazil become more expensive, and therefore lose their competitiveness in the world market, and products abroad become cheaper to import, hurting the national industry. Is this so hard to understand? Seriously, if you cannot understand that, then just don't talk about economy. In my opinion, the Real should be ideally 2.50 compared to the US dollar, but that's just my opinion. And for all the Bits and Yanks here yapping away about how Brazil's economy this and that, favelas bla bla bla... look in the mirror, your countries are doing too well.

What happens to the cost of imports? YES, they go up and everything you buy in Brasil which is an import OR has an element of an import in it goes up by the ration of indigenous to export values.
Do you make ALL the parts for the cars that Brasil manufactures? NO YOU DO NOT.
Surely even you can see what is coming: your exports which have some element of import in them BECOME MORE EXPENSIVE.
The real problem Brasil has is that it pays itself too much for labour AND now it will be paying too much for all the essential imports.
Could you not understand that? That is EXACTLY what TMBOA has done with AR and boy, are they paying for it now.
The question still remains: “is there ANYBODY in charge of the finances and strategy of Brasil”.

That while you keep on endlessly ranting about the economies of South American nations, your own nation's economy isn't doing too well, something you seem to ignore in your rants. No country in the world has a higher debt than the USA, and the growth of US debt is a long-term trend, with no indications of slowling down anytime soon. As far as inequality goes, it has been greatly increasing in the US. The rich in the US are doing just fine, but the amount of poor people just keeps increasing. Yeah, the USA has very serious problems of it's own. And I happen to travel a lot, and I can list you a whole bunch of countries with higher living standards than the US. Obviously if you compare the US, a developed nation, to a developing nation, the US has a higher standard of living. But comparing the US to other developed nations, the US doesn't fare out too well.

We wouldn't want to lose you to some nutter like 'Gorgeous Toni' and his band of thugs.
@60 “Chris, based on the delusional comments of the posters on this board it is very clear none of them understand economics.

I wonder what they teach them in school”
Most economists on the media and even universities are bought by the government and support government policies. My economy professor at university even claimed that Mercedes Marco del Pont was right when she said that monetary emission doesn't cause inflation and even agreed with the dollar clamp claiming that it would encourage people to spend pesos and help the economy!

After let downs which cost me real money listening to 'economists' I now do the research myself and make my own decisions on what I invest my money in.
It may be a fluke but I am doing much better this way.
May I ask a question please. I was talking to a young married Argentine couple three weeks ago and it turned out that he had a degree in electronics from Maryland University. When I said it seems that most people on the net who go to BsAs University think they are getting the best education in the world why did he go to Maryland he just laughed? He then said that he wanted to get a good job and he would not even think about having ANY degree from Argentina. You obviously do not agree, why is that?
@65 yes, economics is one of those quackery sciences, like most social sciences. Psychology is the only social science that is perhaps as bad as economics. I'm not saying that there isn't any actual science there but there are way too many quacks.
Apr 29th, 2013 - 12:05 am - Link - Report abuse 0As for why I'm on an Argentinian university, I don't plan on emigrating unless my life is at risk. I'd rather be miserable in Argentina than treated like subhuman garbage in USA, or even worse, Spain. There's also the fact that if I go to USA I would get morbidly obese due to all the cheap but delicious junk food there.

Apr 29th, 2013 - 01:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You could of course go to the UK; most people have never heard of Argentina and very few have any problems at all with Argentines as they are far preferable to the Islamist bombers! Just joking.
There is still plenty of junk food available though, but the restaurants are pretty good in most cities.
I can only encourage you to visit the UK if you have not already done so and I am confident you will enjoy it immensely. You will most certainly NOT be “treated like subhuman garbage”.
