    But DumbAss and Mantega allege this is just a temporary setback....things have never been better....after all , industrial output has been dropping for only several consecutive months, productive investment is at an all-time low, unemployment is only 5% (in reality, nearer to 20%), interest rates are very low (for going negative on your checking account, only 240% / year, outstanding debt on your credit card only 360% / year) , cost of doing business at an all-time high, inflation surpassing it's maximum limit , “corruption is 'zero' ”', say the organized-crime bosses sitting in the Government Palace in Brasília... so what could go wrong ?
