“Brazil central bank admits interest policy has not been effective in fighting inflation” !!!!!!

The hell it hasn't and the reason is very simple to understand: there is NO cohesive fiscal policy in place in Brazil.

Various ad-hoc attempts to paper over the cracks and direct actions that can only end in tears [remember DumbAss instructing the banks to loan to deadbeats OR ELSE?] have all done the damage anybody with half-a-brain could have predicted.

Where has fucking with Mr. Market got you DumbAss? Exactly where I predicted it would with Mr. Market fucking YOU (and unfortunately the country as well - as anticipated).

Childish actions from the Rulers of SA: why does nothing ever change?
