Liars are always surprised by the truth and The Liar Mantega is no exception.

What had he been saying in 2012 (1% growth)? 4.75% GROWTH for Foreign Investors was “expected”

Even then The Liar KNEW that was impossible. So now he is surprised by 2.3%? Perhaps he should ask himself a simple question: “who else is lying in his ministry?” Could it be the compilers of the data that gets sent to the Brazilian version of the infamous INDEC?

I would NOT be surprised if that were the case.

Having in mind that European 0.25% growth is regarded as a massive improvement, 2.3% is.... Utopian...

2.3% is last year, this year is slowing down tremendously. At that rate the favelas will continue to grow.

Marxist Monkeys lost their chance over the last decade and won't get another for a generation.
I hear they must start rolling blackouts so the whole system doesn't collapse.
That's nice.

Good site though, you should really try to read more like it.

Rousseff is worried the Venezuelan government's repression of recent street protests, and Maduro's refusal to hold genuine dialogue with opposition leaders, may make the political crisis worse over time, the officials said.

Worsening turmoil could, in turn, endanger the sizeable interests of Brazilian companies in Venezuela. They include conglomerate Odebrecht SA.

Brazilian newspaper Valor Economico reported this month that Venezuelan public-sector companies already owe Brazilian companies as much as $2.5 billion in debt.

“Free energy” Stevie

And you believe the stats office of Brazil? I bet you believe INDEC as well.

UK Economy Advances 1.7% in 2013

British Chambers of Commerce (mostly mid – small enterprises) forecast for 2014:
+1.9% - +2.2%

@ 16 “Free energy” Stevie

As you clearly don’t wish to answer the question I will ask another.

Now we will see whether you have been telling porkies:

When will you announce to an energy lean world your claimed “Free energy” device / system / fairy tale?

Now remember that to be “free” means it costs NO MONEY, NADA, etc, etc.

No money to buy and no money to run or maintain AND it must give out energy in a recognisable form that can readily be used to help humanity.

Go on, I dare you! I double dare you! Ha, ha, ha.

So Brazil had lower growth than the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Japan, Sweden and Poland.

Way to go for a developing country!

Most people that are anti-USA think when we withdraw support we are interfering.
Is that the same perception when Brazil does it?
Or doesn't that count since they're hermano (gag) marxist monkeys?

Interesting stories on panampost.com and others about Brazil discreetly withdrawing support for Maduro.
Also brazilian gov has worries about the $2.5 billion invested there...

Attaching your lots mouths to an existing plant for combustion of waste?

That should produce enough energy equivalent to the radiation of the sun on the surface of the planet...

None of these Englishmen never been to Brasil. Therefore, none of them can deliver sensible opinions. Their knowledge about Brazil is postcard. Why they will not take care of them squatters and hungry?

@ 21 “Free energy” Stevie

So, you were bullshitting when you claimed to have discovered a process which broke the Law of the Conservation of Energy and ignored the effect of Entropy then?

Well, now we come to it: another Tupa wanabe caught LYING, how can this be when Sweden is such a nice place apart from the scum they very generously allowed to escape justice in Uruguay?

And this from someone who has demonstrated his complete lack of knowledge of elemental failure analysis.

“Elemental” my dear Watson does not come into it. Ha, ha, ha.
