    Yeah, this will work: NOT.

    If I had been there I would have asked him what relation to The Liar Mantega was he?

    This is such a stupid line to spout, he must think everybody is as stupid as him.

    The only guy that could fix this right left because he knew the Congress wouldn't implement the austerity plan.
    They're doomed.
    The best part of this is I don't see any more Brazilians traveling in the USA.

    The market's reaction to the change in Ministers, as well as to Barbosa's proposals, was negative.....the USD went over the 4 Real mark, the stock market dropped....and with a projected reduction in the GDP in 2015, of 3,6%, plus a 12-month inflation rate nearing 11%, don't see things getting better too soon. He called international and domestic investors, trying to convince them of his good intentions, but everyone knows that Barbosa will do nothing that displeases fat-ass, so nothing of essence will change....just a few cosmetic changes here and there, to kid the gullible idiots of the PT.

    This guy went to one of the most “liberal” “progressive” schools in the USA. He's a Marxist/Communist/Statist.
    Don't believe a word he says.
    He will destroy what's left of Brazil's economy.
