Its an embarrasment and they need a good housecleaning. Dilma/Lula ARE THE PROBLEM it won't be fixed while either one of them is still around.

This recession will turn into a depression.
Nothing can stop it.

DumbAss will do everything possible to retain her corrupt ministers at the expense of coalition 'allies'.

They know where the bodies are buried and who buried them so they must keep their jobs of DumbAss and The Chief Crook Lula will be in the shit big-time.
