  “The Workers' Party says all the donations it received were legal.”
  
  Vaccari Neto and the other PT scumbags can allege want they want....the fact that the bribes passed on to the PT, from various contractors as well as from Petrobrás, were made to “look” legal, the origin of the money was not....so the noose is tightening, and am just waiting to see when the rats start begging for a chance to do a little whistleblowing, to try to save their sorry asses......

  yankeeboy, what if at 5 bucks its a bargain because of all of the assets? It's obvious to me the wall street media and bloggers are rigged. They made everyone scared to be short brazil and petrobras dring the marina silva farse....and then now everyone hates petrobras. I am still massively bearish on the brazilian economy. CFK alone means huge problems for Chile and Brazil.

So, if the current administration was your only concern you would have to be bullish on the Brazilian economy.

  Despite my hatred of the PT and all it represents, I still believe that Brazil will turn this crisis around and get back on track. I say this because I have lived through several “crises” in Brazil over the last 5 decades, and somehow the country always manages to survive. My realism , or lack of complete pessimism is based on prior experience, given that Brazil is larger than these idiots in the Federal Government. On the other hand, if the Government were serious, and had done what it should have, perhaps the crises would have had only a reduced impact on the contry's economy, and allow it to go forward instead 2 steps forward and one back.....In the last 12 years though, it's just gone backwards, economically and socially. The so-called improvements have been clouded by the enormous amount of problems caused by incompetence and corruption, and the only positive effect all this has had, it that the people have woken up....Dilma's popularity (government approval) is down to 13 % nationwide (same tendency in all 5 regions) , to the point that the political analysts are unanimous in affirming that her support is now limited virtually, to the militants of the Worker's Party...even those who voted for her in Oct 2014, but do not belong to the Party, are having second thoughts.
