“revival of a financial transactions tax.”

So why was it dropped last time: didn't work, did it.

I thought that any economy needed financial transactions to work so taxing them is going to stop people doing them. Good commie move, that one!

“The president also announced she was cutting her salary by 10%, that of her vice president and slashing thousands of coveted jobs for political appointees,”

Big deal !! does fat ass really think that cutting (only) her salary by a measly 10 % - but keeping all the benefits - and cutting 3,000 (out of 113,000) 'coveted' jobs (for political appointees) will see Brazil out of the crisis ?
She still maintains a Ministry for “Racial Equality”, which nobody has the faintest idea what it does - except chew up a lot of taxpayer money. But I suppose it creates a lot of goodwill.....LMAO !
Fatty still doesn't realize that SHE is the crisis.
She goes, the crisis goes with her.
