See what happens when you elect a woman to do a man's job.
Brazilians should stick to what their good at - sex, waxing and soccer.
And kidnapping people. They are pretty good at that, too.

President Dilma Rousseff of the leftist Workers’ Party began her second term in January 2015. A recession, fiscal and monetary belt-tightening, and a far-reaching kickback scheme involving her party and the state-controlled Petróleo Brasileiro oil company sent her approval rating plummeting. Brazil has poor public services, antiquated and insufficient infrastructure, and high tax rates. In recent years, inflation has surged again. Growth is sluggish, but Brazil’s “Bolsa Família” conditional cash transfer program for the poor has won support in some sectors. Brazil is the world’s seventh-largest economy, and its population of almost 200 million is heavily concentrated on the Atlantic coast. Since the advent of the monetary “real plan” in the 1990s and the end of hyperinflation, the poverty rate has dropped, but heavy government intervention in the economy continues to limit development.

There was some talk that Lula was going to deliver on the promise of Chavez's socialist ideals, without the thuggery and bread lines. It wasn't highly touted, but it was out there.UWhuskytskeet said:

Of course it didn't happen because...it never does.

Remember when Brazil was a military dictatorship?
It's telling that the guys leading the impeachment drive are more individually corrupt than Roussef. Has she done a good job? No. Is she Lula's fall guy? Totally. -
So muslims are socialists now? Got it.

We would include a mandate in our proposal–not a mandate on employers, but a mandate on heads of households–to obtain at least a basic package of health insurance for themselves and their families. That would have to include, by federal law, a catastrophic provision in the form of a stop loss for a family’s total health outlays. It would have to include all members of the family, and it might also include certain very specific services, such as preventive care, well baby visits, and other items.sarktastic said:President Dilma Rousseff of the leftist Workers’ Party began her second term in January 2015.

No. When was this and who was saying it? I haven't heard of Brazil described as socialist before. Are you confusing it with another country?sarktastic said:remember when Brazil was touted as a socialist Mecca
