These Marxist Monkeys will do the only thing they know; increase cash payments to the poor and depreciate the currency.
This is all they know.
They will drive the economy into recession and ultimately failure.
Brazil is right behind Argentina who's behind Venezuela.

Yes, I agree.

It's almost as if they want to be in the first chapter of any book written about: “How not to run a country: practical examples”.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so tragic.

And what do you have to do with it?
Your life will improve seeing my country break?

I can only see in you the image of an envious person, unscrupulous, angry and unhappy.

Instead of you going after prostitutes, hire a health insurance and consult a psychoanalyst.

Envious of a Brazilian? Bahahahaha

It comes and goes, what is really odd and a bit frightening are all the propaganda videos and their admiration for Dictatorships.

Those Brazilians who feel offended that foreigners now know the true face of Lula/Dilma/PT are idiots; they were also mischeved by terrorist/communist gang's lies that now show the true Brazil: the broken country/society it always was. I am Brazilian, and hopeless since 1500.
