Brazzil

..of course Lula is made of 100% Teflon so naturally it will be deflected onto others and they must take the fall for the King

LULA is not worth falling on the sword for
but he will find some one to take it as most important people in brasil do .

want all the power but no blame same as the US

Excellent article about the corruption in Brazil. Although Lula is in the rigth way in the conductions of the country economy he fail in combating the corruption.

Excellent article.Although Lula is doing a good work in the country economy he fails to figth the cronic corruption.

"Do you know how to catch wild pigs?"

The professor thought it was a joke and asked for the punch line. The young man said that it was no joke.

"You catch wild pigs by finding a suitable width='100%' place in the woods and putting corn on the ground. The pigs find it and begin to come everyday to eat the free corn. When they are used to coming every day, you put a fence down one side of the place where they are used to coming.

When they get used to the fence, they begin to eat the corn again and you put up another side of the fence. They get used to that and start to eat again. You continue until you have all four sides of the fence up with a gate in the last side. The pigs, which are used to the free corn, start to come through the gate to eat that free corn again.

You then slam the gate on them and catch the whole herd. Suddenly the wild pigs have lost their freedom. They run around and around inside the fence, but they are caught.

Soon they go back to eating the free corn. They are so used to it that they have forgotten how to forage in the woods for themselves, so they accept their captivity."

The young man then told the professor that is exactly what he sees happening in America. The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism and keeps spreading the free corn out in the form of programs such as supplemental income, tax credit for unearned income, tax cuts, tax exemptions, tobacco subsidies, dairy subsidies, payments not to plant crops (CRP), welfare, medicine, drugs, etc. while we continually lose our freedoms, just a little at a time.

One should always remember two truths:
1) There is no such thing as a free lunch, and
2) you can never hire someone to provide a service for you cheaper than you can do it yourself.

If you see that all of this wonderful government 'help' you might want to send this on to your friends, but if you think the free ride is essential to your way of life, then you will probably delete this email.

But may God help you (and us all) when that gate finally slams shut!

humm.. pizza de Lula me deu fome!

May I congratulate you for this excellent article? In spite of being just a student of journalism, you have excelled yourself both in content and written English. Parabéns.

Your article should be read by all the Brasilians in this blog.In my opinion, you summarized the current political squabbles by writing the following paragraph:

Back then, the bills were already astronomical, but nobody paid much attention. This year, however, due to the unstable scenario of upcoming municipal elections, several accusations of embezzlement broke a war between government and opposition.

I wonder if our fellow blogger Eduardo C from MS has read your article. Would be interesting to hear his comments.

Congrats again and stick around!

I am glad that you enjoyed reading Daniel´s article.

As for your comment:

D good stuff , but if you keep this up you only will be published on the net

So what if his articles are published only on the Net. By the time he graduates, "The Net" would have eliminated the cheap "Tabloids" that pass only disinformation to the public at large.

Regardless, I am glad that you liked young Daniel´s article.

The government keeps pushing us toward Communism/Socialism

Ah Where´s Joe when you really need him, eh?

Zé, I am really impressed.You must be at least 80 years old to to remember good ole Joe

he killed a lot of peoples careers ,to include his

he used the press to point out just a little miss imforation on someone and let publik opinion do the rest

not unlike what goes on know with political finger pointing .

bush took what he was told and ran with it only to be called a killer of countries and a taker of lives .

so you kill a few hundred history calls you a murder kill a few thousand and you are a conquer

in Mr Bushes case time will have to be the judge

Bin Lula and his 4000 thieves....are a reality !

Bin Lula is certainly not a Robin Hood....but a Robin Crook !
Robin Hood robbed the riches and gave to the poors..
Robin Crook rob the poors and give to the riches.

Viva Brazil, Viva Bin Lula the King of the Crooks....YOU brazilians elected TWICE....as YOUR LEADER !!!!
The President of a country, if elected democratically, ALWAYS REPRESENTS THE COUNTRY MAJORITY SOCIETY....by definition !.

After all, Bin Lula talks to the majority poors and work for the minority riches.
This clearly explains why Brazil is ranked as one of the the World Worst Country ....... for Social and Wealth Inequality !!!!

Even on healthcare Your Vice President Açucar (Alencar) travels to the USA when in need of Heart surgery !!!!!
I bet....HE know why !

This is known that cash makes us independent. But how to act if someone does not have cash? The one way only is to get the business loans and car loan.
