    Mantega controlling the market is going well I see.

    These financial children in charge of the economy need to grow up quickly before the cot sets on fire.

    First world country? Ha, ha, ha.

    “The benchmark IPCA consumer price index jumped 0.92% in March from February, the steepest increase for the month since 2003, statistics agency IBGE said on Wednesday”.
    Given the drought, one might feel inclined to give them a slight discount, but the inflation hiccup is not restricted to 2014....it's been in the making for several years...this 0.92% made headlines becos it's the highest for March , in the last 11 years......11 years ? the exact number of years the PT has been in power ; a coincidence ? Don't think so....Mr. Mantega is in for more unpleasant surprises....wait till prices skyrocket during the World Cup...

    Tik Tok @7, the only consistent thing about the Brazzo @6 is that he always posts rubbish ; he never says anything that makes sense...even though some of his more recent posts have been a bit less UNintelligible ...must be when he has time to consult Google translator or gets some outside contribution ; As a matter of fact, excluding the 'crack' biz he insinuates I 'm the leader of, I wouldn't mind having a few helicopters .
    Have you seen his post @8 yet ?? Hey Brazzo, I don't want you dead....just 'out of the way' would do...If you must join in, first get an education. Stop being so f*****g ignorant !!!
    @9 ricagp....due to the fact Brazzo only comments - if what he posts can be called 'comments' - on Brazilian issues.....and on these he demonstrates an enormous lack of knowledge, so although he reacts in a similar manner as the Trolls from down south, I doubt he can even find RGland on a map...

    Brazzo, sincerely I hope you are young because then there still could be time for you to get an education and learn that populism just bites you in the arse in the long run. Plus you could brush up on your English.

    Brazzo@11.....UNlikely....and I couldn't give a damn what you would like.
    @13.... are we to understand that you are 48 yrs old ?? getting long in the tooth - if you still have any - but it's not too late to go back to school, unless of course you think that Lula was right when he said he didn't need to study......
