But even worse, in 2 articles published in this same magazine on december 26, 2005, the shameful Rossetto, Minister of Agriculture, said :

"Government numbers are undisp**able.For us the criterion of truth is non negotiable.
There is no virtual agrarian reform in this Administration"

First goofing :
- Hackbart of INCRA said, same day, the 2005 budget was US$ 1.5 billion (3.5 billion Reais). Yesterday in another article Rossetto said the budget was US$ 1 billion (2.3 billion Reais).

Second goofing :
- Hackbart said - We shall have to obtain supplementary funds but they are already entering 2006 with a budget of US$ 643 millions (1.5 billion Reais)

IT HAPPENS THAT EVERY NUMBERS ARE WRONG BECAUSE :

The MST settlement budget was set up at
REAIS (NOT US$) 1.7 billions but only 900 millions Reais were freed until October.
You can then see that by December if around another 150 millions Reais were freed, there remained around 650 millions REAIS for 2006 and NOT US$ 643 millions as Hackbart said !

This crook, voluntarily inverted the currencies to make a larger amount of Reais.

And the Minister said, on purpose the same lies with his US$ 1 billion budget spent for 2005.

So once more the reality is that the 2005 budget for agrarian reform was REAIS 1.7 billions, of which only 1 billion was spent, leaving REAIS 700 millions for 2006.

The reality is then simply 2.3 times lower
(exchange rate) than what Rossetto and Hackbart have wished the MST and brazilian citizens to swallow.

Easy reconcialiation !

Therefore the affirmation of Rossetto that government numbers are undisp**able and the rest mentionned above ARE PURE LIES REVEALED !

Furthermore HAckbart also promised to publish by the en of January a list of all the families settled.
We are almost at the end of January.
Will this list ever be published ON TIME, DELAYED (elections reasons) OR NEVER ?

the MST called for the formation of a commission, including representatives of social movements, the National Bar of Brazilian Bishops, the Brazilian Bar Association, INCRA staff members and reporters to visit the settlements announced bay the governm,ent and check the government figures.

Who takes the bet that the list will either not be published or it will be not allowed
to be "audited" by the commission ????????????

A SHAME AND A SAD REALITY WITH MINISTERS THAT TRUNK AND MANIPULATE GOVERNMENT BUDGETS TO HIDE, ON PURPOSE, THEIR LIES AND FAILURES !

They are TRUE JUNKIES !

Who ? The government ?
Yes definitely !
But my numbers cannot be wrong. Simply because in Brazil the budget is not done in US$ but in Reais...by definition.
Therefore the first numbers shown in the article are Reais not US$. But to put confusion they mentioned US$ and then multiplied by the exchange rate.
They should have taken the Reais and divide to make the equivalent in US$.

Furthermore my numbers matches, not theirs. And finally my numbers matches with numbers in other articles, not theirs.

If you dont understand how they manipulate numbers, good for them, as this is exactly what they want you to swallow : pure lies and wrong numbers.

They achieved exactly what they wanted.

It is unfortunate that you are not smart enough to understand simple facts and deep lies !

Cheers

The problem with agrarian reform is that land is capital, not income.

In order to make it work you have to give the people education, farm inputs, machinery and infrastructure.

Where is that money going to come from?
