Brazzil

I still have not seen any concrete idea of improving Brazil from any politician. They talk, and talk, only about minor irrelevant ideas. Meanwhile, the country’s social problems continue the same. Why we, the Brazilians, should care about how long a minister should stay in his/her post as long he/she is doing a good job?

Although I am not an economist, I do not agree that the Brazilian economy is stagnated. Maybe is not growing at a fast rate. And those demands for a bigger rate of growth are coming from a class worried only about bigger profits in detriment of the poor because that could cause an increase of inflationary rate.

Hello, Mr. Buarque gives us tangible ideas about how to improve our country at all levels. Take the risk. Politics is not for the faint of heart!

.....long term investments in what you need the most are some of the answers, namely :
basic and high education, housings, sanitation, health, roads, less administration,less paperwork, better social inclusion, avoiding tax evasion and punishing those who do.

Also ....less corruption...obviously !!!!!!
ll of the above would not only create millions and millions of jobs...but will also increase your well being.

Reducing the cost of doing business (corruption, administrative papers, taxes, interests on loans) will improve your worldwide competitivty.

Mr Buarque....you are so smart and educated....have you not yet realized....that countries with low taxes and interests rates....have a higher competitivity, less problems than you country ?????

Have you not realized that a lower tax rate...will not reduce money for the government...but curiously enough..... increase it...due to a better economy, a higher profitability, creation of jobs ?????

How can your businesses be efficient when they must borrow money at 50 to 70 % interests rates ?????

How can your consumers consume...when they have to borrow money at 80 to 150 % per year ?????

How can your government be efficient...when they have to borrow at 19,50 % per year.....when inflation is nil by now...but even when it was at 5 to 8 % annualized ????????????

How can your government make long term investments mentioned above...with such interests rates ???????????????????

NOOOOOOOO WAY !!!!! SIMPLE AS THAT !!!!


Why are you doing the exact opposite of others ???? You think you are smarter ?????
As an ex ex ex whatever...YOU are partially responsible of the sad today's reality of your country !!!!!!

Why do you continue to give lessons in how things should be done...when you did not do them....while in power ??????

Is that not too easy...from your side ??????

Chavez being a friend of Brazil...why dont you take some of his good ideas : He put a cap of 28 % on rates banks can charge when loaning money ! Such rate is still a very high rate....but so low in your country. That would be a first step in the right direction !!!!

Is it not time...after several decades...that you retire and leave the destiny of your country to younger generation of politicians....those who understand that they should do the opposite of what you did ???????

Mr Buarque, as a politician...YOU failed to improve the quality of life of your citizens.


TIME TO GO...WITH YOUR PARTNERS !!!!!!!!!

....Japan lost their war, and were destroyed. Look what they did during the next 60 years.
...Germany also lost the war and was destroyed. Look what they did during the next 60 years.
....Taiwan was insignificant...then ! Look now...
.....South Korea was undevelopped and poor ! Look now.....
....Ireland was a poor nation...just 25 years ago ! Now they have the highest per capita income in Europe. Higher than Switzerland ! Yesss....
....China was much poorer than you...10 years ago !!! their average growth since then has been around 9 % per year !!!!!!!

So no one should ask a Brazilian politician, from left to right what should be done...to have things better ! They dont do what they say anyway !!!!

Brazilian politicians and citizens just have to look at success stories named above. Pick a few good ideas...here and there... AND DO THE SAME !!!!

The things they have in common are vision, commitments, hard work and...... perseverance and perseverance !!!!!!

for Brazilians is avoiding to vote in left-wing oligarchs and demagogues like Christovam Buarque.

Yeah i kinda agree....but you forget these countries had a direction predetermined....by War.....or by revolution. Brazil is a nation of emotions and lovers...cant see any really difficult decisions being made here

I was directed to this site and for my surprise they defend the ideas that I think can make Brazil break with the past.

Brazil needs pragmatism. As long as it is a land of dreamers they will always be prey of the elite.

End university education?

Sell all state-owned enterpises?

Replace CLT (labour rules)?

I started liking them!

Sorry!

Ending FREE university education, I meant.

Accroding to the OECD, in average Brazil spends 14 times more with university education than with basic education. For comparision sake: Chile spends 4 times more only.

Difference in income is difference in education. Brazilians can't make the connection.

Ya know, with all the hunning and hawing about what Brazil needs to do, or how it should do it, people have a tendency to forget one crucial factor: Brazilians.

As the joke goes: when god created Brazil, he blessed it with resources, mineral wealth, biodiversity, outstanding landscapes and various biomes. Beaches, trees, gold, oil and the like. When questioned why "G"od was giving Brazil SO much, and other nations SO little, and wasn't that a little unfair to the rest of the world. "G"od responded, "just wait until you see the people I put there".

Now, I love my brazilian bretheren, I love to bulls**t with them, scheme and dream, drink beer and laugh my ass off, but let's be honest - I wouldn't want one running my company, let alone my country.
