Poor Brazil just can't catch a break. Brazil finally gets a President that understands economics, has the political clout to push through the necessary reforms (because he pretends to be a socialist) and his friends screw it all up by getting greedy. It is like an Italian opera. Now the specialist interest statists (who pretend to be pro free market) are going to get back into power and the entire Brazilian budget is going to keep going into subsidies and corruption.
