    As I thought, “The Liar Mantega” was DumbAss Dilma's 'cock de'jour' because she defends him even when he has gone.

    What does she think will happen to international investment when this guy leaves the job after her outbursts and lack of confidence in him?

    Definitely a top grade DumbAss.

    Pretty hard to grow an economy when you're 2 biggest cities are on water rations and your most prestigious company is heading into bankruptcy.

    Hows the BRIC bank going?

    China is a mess. They will never make it into a developed nation and I think they will collapse in the very near future. If it was a country that had private industry, private banks it would have already collapsed. They can hide and paper over all their problems until there is a systematic collapse. So when it goes its going big.

    Not going to be pretty for the rest of the world.

    China's plans in latin america are being thrown out with the K and Maduro and people saying China's going to own latin america fail to see that. China's production is plummeting while the shelves are empty in the mismanaged and corrupt latin american nations.

    Clinton must have been seeking a blowjob from Kirchner.....As an American I've seen his women and they are always ugly or fat assed at best. Anyway, a nation cannot claim they have “managed their debt” and reduced it unless they reduced it via “paying it off” in a timely manner of early. Take the top ten economies in the world and then think of the consequences if they “reduced their debt” to GDP in the same manner Argentina reduced it........defaulted and tossed away 77 cents for every dollar they owed. We're talking 45 to 50 trillion dollars. Think of the consequences of wiping out 35 to 38 trillion in bonds with the stroke of a pen. Nope....we decided we do not like being in debt anymore.

    that's trillion.........35,000,000,000,000

    Yeah.....I don't think the Argentine way of debt management is viable nor will it catch on anytime soon.

    The Real walks to an acceptable level of industrial competitiveness, great gains in service delivery and fabulous gains in agribusiness.

    The Banco Central seems of Brasil!

    I best thing about Brazil failing is they won't be able to vacation in the USA any longer.
    You could always tell when they were in a restaurant because it sounded like the Monkey house in the zoo.
    but with worse table manners.

    Pop, I'd be more worried about the tainted water their drinking and the dengue

    The new way of Brazilians is the same as Vasco da Gama: to the East, to India, to China, to Russia!

    Bye, bye USA. You are very expensive and are not competitive!

    Brasshole you are correct that I asked a question to an idiot. I also made a huge assumption that you had electricity. I should have remembered that you have the water for the world in your basement.

    From now until 2025 will be increased annually 5,400 Megawatts in our energy capacity.
    Already under construction through Public Private Partnerships 16 wind farms, 8 hydroelectric power plants, 1 mega hydroelectric plant, 1 nuclear power plant, 60 thermoelectric.
    This represents half of the US electricity capacity.

    With respect to drinking water are located in Brazil's two largest aquifers (groundwater) from the planet: Alter do Chão and Guarani, able to supply all mankind for 400 years and Brazil for thousands of years.

    Hey, idiot, learned?

    Brasshole - why are people suffering so much then with lack of water and possible blackouts? Because the PT socialist idiots (including you) couldn't organize a piss up in a brewery.

    So why the shortages?
    I know I am asking an idiot, but that is no different from asking those that rule you.

    Shortages? I do not know about any of that. Here there is no lack of water or lack of energy. At least I've never seen.

    Perhaps the political opposition supported by a concentrated media in the hands of a few families, in addition to CIA spies have other wishes.

    I am Brazilian and the only time I saw blackout was the FHC governments. The rest is conversation to steer sleep.

    19. You should probably read some news out of Brazil. You seem to be the only one who doesn't know there's a drought.

    BTW You never did tell me how having having water 1000s of miles away and miles underground is going to help Rio and San Paulo now.

    We believe that there is any flaw in the immigration control and issuance of visas for US citizens by the Brazilian embassy in the United States. We all know that the United States is a terrorist country exporting worldwide spies.
    We need to review the Embassy of control procedures, and also harden the parameters for granting visas.

    Why the United States maintains embassy and consulates with so many “employees” in Brazil? We believe that most of them are spies and saboteurs.

    Brazil should do what Venezuela did: expel these pseudo diplomats of our territory.
