Recent events in Brazil lead us to question what constitutes the difference between the Left and the Right these days. Until a short time ago, the point of differentiation between the Left and the Right was the concept of the State's relationship to the economy. The Left wanted state control; the Right defended the free market.

...as an ex Senator, ex Governor and ex Minister of Education...why have you not implemented what you are saying others should do ?????
Being ex of so many titles...had given you decades of time to apply simple basic ideology and fairness !!!!
BUT YOU DID NOT ! YOU TOTALLY FAILED...and the dark truth is today reality !!!!!
So you should in no way give lessons to the brazilian society and even less to the world community !!!!!

I could not say it better.The government(s) have their head up their asses. They could care less about the people, specially the poor. It seems like they prefer to see the poor die them assist them for a better life. Its all talk (bull s**t) and no action, other them the ussual corruption from the elected crooks. They promise empty promises for decades.

Again and again, that is not what Mr. Buarque meant. Once again you are reading the articles with a disgusting prejudice.
The ideas are right, Mr. Buarque, we need to do for Brazil what the Europeans did for education decades ago.
I would vote always for you, Mr. Buarque, if you show us how to implement this planning of education efficiently and other social reforms we are so much in need. What are the details would you present to us concerning improvement of the Brazilian education at all levels and make it is accessible to everyone, poor, rich or between?

Mr. Buarque created the "Bolsa Escola" program which now is responsible for keeping millions of children in the school. He practices what he preaches.

here is a short extract of Mr Buarque's article :
a program in the Bolsa-Escola model, created in Brazil, but applied more successfully in Mexico.
For your info only, Mexico decided in 1994 to invest heavily in...education !!!!!!
From what I know.....contradict me if I am wrong....but neither Mr Lula nor Mr Buarque...were involved as Minister Or President...in 1994 !!!!!
Also if Bolsa Escola was created either by Mr Lula or Mr Buarque...how can Mr Buarque says that Bolsa Escola was invented by Brazil...when it started in 1994 in Mexico...and only much later in Brazil ????
On top of that...anyway....Mr Buarque clearly says...BUT BETTER APPLIED IN MEXICO !!!!!
Is he recognizing he did not do a good job...while Minister responsible of Bolsa Escola ??????
My conclusion is simple : Mexico, in 1994, decidec heavy investments in schools for the poors. Whoever in Brazil decided, much later, in fact not long ago, copied the Mexican Idea...with another name !!!
Nothing wrong to copy a good Idea but why say Brazil, Buarque or Lula invented the idea ????

Yet another logically erroneous deduction of yours! I will send your name to Guinness book.
He said that Mexico adopted "Bolsa-Escola" model from Brazil but he did not implied that that happened in 1994. Mexico may have adopted to invest massively in education in 1994 and latter adopted the Brazilian model.
Nothing stop you, isn't? Once again, a bogus analysis of an article based on preconception against our country and fallacy.
I am curious. What country are you from?

Cristovam Buarque started the program, Bolsa Escola as governor of DF. It was only then that Cardoso adopted the program that Cristovam first began. Cardoso made it a natinal program and make some changes to it. Lula has taken the several cash programs, like Bolsa Escola and unified them under the Bolsa Familia, which is one large cash transfer to families. And let me state in Buarque's defense he was ex-governor, ex-director of DF university, ex-senator, ex-minister but to truly put his plan into motion he needs to be the president or maybe be put as finance minister in Brasil. Sorry but because you dont see he programs in Brasil is in fact a result of him never being elected president and there is also something called Congress that needs to overlook his plans to change Braasil. If and I believe when he runs he has my vote, hands down!

Governor of the federal district written by Guest,
September 29, 2005
Mr. Buarque was the governor of the federal district from 95 till 98 when he implemented the bolsa-escola program. However, the concept, the main idea of the bolsa-escola was created and widely publicized by him in the early eighties (he wrote several books on it). I lived in the Federal District during Mr. Buarque's mandate and he trully worked towards the poor with heavy investiments in education and health.

All girls and boys of Brasilia go to school and public schools here are reasonably good (compared to other parts of Brazil and other developing countries I have lived in ...) . This situation is partialy due to Prof. Buarque's former administration ...

"They could care less about the people"
Without taking a position on what you said, what you meant to say is "They COULDN'T care less." Yours implies that they do care.
