Oh dear, Brazil “ministers” caught out acting like a bunch of idiots again.

Remember all the chorus from Brasiliero about Brazil being the best? Well they certainly seem to be in “The Not Thinking Ahead” league.

Stunning solution this: who would have come up with that?

Brasil can be anything you want. We owe nothing to anyone. Why the world will not forget us? Live your life and stop living mine. The world want food, is not? The wolrd want mineral resources, is not? So, we sell, is not? So stop worrying us, stop trying to change us. We are what we are, and we are very happy with what we are.

Not sure how the idea of job sharing will go down with the current work force. Industrial unrest on the horizon ?

My friend, BRAZIL were the ones who wanted the Football World Cup, BRAZIL are the ones who want to be seen with the big nations of the world, BRAZIL are the ones who want a permanent seat on the UN Security Council. These statements are facts.

So, please don’t come on here berating us for the problems of YOUR government who cannot stand up to the promises THEY made to FIFA.

Brazil has a set of ministers who consistently LIE to the country and CONTINUE lying until the facts stare everybody in the face. Mantega lies about finance and I know you say Brazil does not need money from outsiders but you are WRONG. Your economy is huge but very poorly managed and the results are plain for everyone who understands finance to see for themselves.

Brazil; COULD be a great nation, but not with this bunch of liars in charge because they have NO IDEA what to do.
