IF she gets in, guess who is going to be under the cosh?
Trouble is, she and The Liar Mantega will continue to fuck the economy up if they get re-elected.

So, in what sense will she as and the finance secretary “continue to fuck the economy”?

Santander did what it wanted and wanted to do: say the truth no matter what!

Jul 26th, 2014 - 04:10 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The road looks pretty bleak for Brazil.
You can not steal from the rich and give to the poor and think it will make everyone richer.
It makes everyone poorer.
The decline has already begun.
By “saying the economy would worsen if President Dilma Rousseff’s chances of being re-elected stabilized or improved”, Santander told no lies. The ridiculous part of Rouseff's complaint is that those 0.2% of the banks top clients, had alraedy reached the same conclusion by themeselves, a long time ago. And on the other hand, where is the sacred right to free speech, the freedom to express your opinion, whether you are a bank or an individual ?? But under the PT, freedom of speech is only allowed if it is to speak well of them.....just a bunch of hypocrits.

@2 Have you ever heard about being off the pigs back on a massive commodity boom. About good fortune rather than good management.

Jul 28th, 2014 - 05:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0To be quite fair Lula did do a great deal of good for Brazil during his 2 terms of office, I am not sure that Dilma managed quite so well. However the growth of Brazils economy can be said to have started when Cardoso was made finance minister and continued as President for 2 terms.
Jul 29th, 2014 - 06:07 am - Link - Report abuse 0@11 Steve R : you believe that “To be quite fair Lula did do a great deal of good for Brazil during his 2 terms of office”.....I disagree.
Jul 29th, 2014 - 03:49 pm - Link - Report abuse 0But, I would be delighted to know exactly what, in your mind, Lula REALLY did for the poor ?? I don't want government propaganda, just hard facts.
Sure Jack, I know of (And I am talking from personal experience here) normal Brazilians who managed to buy there own property, start up there own bushinesses and this was because they were able to get a education, which prior to Lula taking office was a lot harder also the numbers who gained employment due to a better education. The rise of schools and further education opportunities in the North East of the country (and not simply in the richer South) was astounding under the Lula administration. Now tell me why you disagree and I would prefer hard facts and not propaganda :-) I am not saying he was perfect but I stand by what I said he did a lot of good for the normal person in Brazil.
Jul 29th, 2014 - 11:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Steve R, I agree that up to the 90's , an education may not have been as easy as now, but here I question: what 'type' of education are the 'people' getting now? the quality of basic / secondary schooling's still appauling ; Universities have sprung up like mushrooms, providing poor qualty educations to students who basically, just need to pay their dues to get by...what sort of professionals are graduating ? All the 'quotas' for blacks ....why not for “POOR people” ...or does the PT think that ONLY the blacks are poor in Brazil ? Political correctness has flourished under the PT, which is just another way to hide the inconvenient truth. Instead of addressing the real problem, which is the basic schooling, they have left the public school system in the shame shambles it became after it started deteriorating in the 80's....Never has Brazil (read Federal Government) pulled in so much money in taxes (bleeding the people who work, and favouring those who don't), and yet put them to such bad use. A serious government would have transformed the structure of basic /secondary public schooling, making 'quotas' and all the crap that comes along with it, UNnecessary . The 'lot' of the people in the northeast has undoubtedly improved a bit, but at what cost ? for how long ? The “Bolsa Familia” for 15 million families, the great majority of which, instead of using the programme as a stepping stone to a better life (meaning, get a job and work your way up the ladder, which was its basic premise when Lula 'recreated' it), have come to see it as early retirement....and the government turns a blind eye to this fact, because it means more votes. The people have misused it and still cannot stand alone, on their own feet. With the backing Lula had, he could have performed miracles. He didn't bother.
