Jun 29th, 2015 - 12:12 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Loathed universally, methinks!
Anyway, where is this $62 billion coming from?
Is she still spending other people's money?
Its not even newsworthy here in the USA.

From the WSJ today:
Jun 29th, 2015 - 02:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Brazilian state-run oil company Petróleo Brasileiro SA said Monday it plans to slash investments by 37% over the next five years in an urgent effort to reduce debt and recover investor confidence amid a corruption scandal.”
Petrobras has gone from being valued at 300+BILLION to now an estimated 18-BILLION valued company in less than 8 years...
Bras is going to be a little disappointed that the Dilma is signing agreements with the US Military today.

Brazil is reverting to its proper state. Broke, corrupt, criminal, degenerate, dishonest, larcenous, mendacious, murderous and necrophiliac.
Jun 29th, 2015 - 05:38 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Loathed at home AND (when people learn about the American Officer murdered in front of his wife and children by Dilma's terrorist cell) REVILED by every western society.

Loathed at home, she comes to get investments from people who don't speak portuguese and might have never been to Brazil. Emerging market assets anyone?

good question, 'where's the money coming from ? ”
Fatty D thinks she inspires enough confidence from the private sector, that businessmen will come rushing to be part of the new brazilian rebirth......no-one is stupid enough to put their money into government sponsored projects....bribery would obviously play a big part in deciding who does what, and nothing will get done ; typical brazilian Government style.
In 2012 she tried a similar ploy....things weren't as bad then as they are now, but even then it was a failure.
