Whoever wins Brazil's presidential race this month will inherit a fiscal straight jacket and a drifting economy in urgent need of repair: but will have no governing coalition in Congress to pass reforms. On Sunday, Brazilians will vote for the president, all 513 members of the lower house of Congress, and two-thirds of the 81-member Senate. Read full article

REF: “building a coalition to approve the emergency agenda”

A coalition is very EASY: Just agree to “Share the Loot”

As Terrence Hill argues clearly in is earlier insightful recommendation for the Brazilian public to vote for Bolsonaro who would also win a runoff against any rival by a margin of at least 10 percent. (A second-round runoff will happen if no candidate wins 50 percent of the vote.)

Bolsonaro, a former army captain, says he would include generals in his cabinet and allow police to shoot criminals dead if they are fired at. He has taken an early lead with widespread support for his tough anti-crime and anti-graft stances and has a clean record among an electorate fed up with political corruption.

The signs that Bolsonaro is gaining momentum led Brazil's stock index up to a near five-month high and its currency to its strongest level in almost two months.

Again, everyone needs to agree with Terrence's remarkable intellectual argument that Brazil is currently on the correct path to vote for the right, not the Socialist-Communist left.

¡Viva Brazil!

We won't have to worry about Bolsonaro's capabilities if he becomes president, as he has none. In thirty years of public life he hasn't contributed anything towards the creation of a single legislative act. My fifteen-year old child knows more about the functioning of the health and education systems than he does.
