Brazzil

The Real Plan tied the currency to the U.S. dollar at par !
7 years later (in 2002)....the Real plunged 75 % and is still today, despite the recent recovery at Reais 2.15 to the dollar, meaning a depreciation of around 50 % from the initial date of the Real Plan !

Strange that John finds this as a positive outcome.
And if that was your only sucessful long term accomplishment...my god....Brazil was/is and will remain a country governed by inept people. Your Politicians should return to basic economic schools...for few years !

More lousy, difficult to find.

Could be that Brazilians are born as natural loosers ! Whatever you do....you do it wrong ! Therefore your repeated failures become quite normal !
And believing that you will be smarter today or tomorrow has not been proven yet.

Afterall your nickname of BOOM AND BUST ECONOMY is quite justified !
Even during the last 4 years, you have lagged against ALL the other developing countries. Looks like you enjoy to be at or near the bottom of the various rankings.

Gives a whole new meaning to "baiano" time...

To John:

I have to agree with Ch.c.Boom and bust economy.BTW, are you sure that the Brazilian economy could grow at 5%,just because the Government wants? Common John,you are a consultant,right. My prediction for 2007 and 2008 is 2.5% and if you take into the inflation rate it is going to be negative growth. Ch.C seems to know lot more than I do about Brazil and its economy.I will let him have his say about my prediction

"Could be that Brazilians are born as natural loosers !"
You're an imbecile! Who the f**k you think you are?

Ch.c knows s**t about Brazil. He is just one of lifeless losers that hang around this site writing crap like that. He probably is a teenager with too much spare time, an adult with such behavior wouldn't be normal.

The dollar parity means s**t. It hurts the exports and make Brazil less competitive with other nations. As a matter of fact the value of the real at 2.15 has been severely criticized by everyone because of that.

Don't pretend you know anything about Brazil. This site is made by bigots for bigots.

How much would you pay for it?

To: A Brazilian.

Thanks for the feed back.Please do not assume that I do not know anything about Brazil. I am just pissed off as you are about the artificial exchange rate.

My comments were meant for John Fitzpatrick. Like old Brizola, I am asking " Quem é este Fitzpatrick e Ch.c"?

Have a nice week and just remember that I have plenty of good buddies in Brazil.

Take care.

Just when I think, "Surely, “CH.C.” encapsulates the limits of human stupidity", he goes and pushes the boundary even further. Is there no limit to your stupidity?

Yours Truly,

Costinha

Costinha, I don"t think Ch.C is a disorder.He makes lots of sense when he is not anti Brazilian. He seems to have a good grip about the Brazilian economy

This has become a real sad country. I was born in Sao Paulo, left at the age of 13 remember bad times and real beautiful good times as a child growing up there. True, we were poor, but I must say very happy (sometimes not knowing better is the best!)
I returned to Brazil in 1979 fell in love with it all over again, could not wait to bring my family one day, to see the beautiful place I was born . When I finally had the opportunity to do it in May of 2006; for the full 10 days I was there, we could not leave the house we were staying at because crime was growing ramped - 36 police officers had been shot in one weekend, buses full of passengers were being burnt on the streets and most scary, my city was covered in dirt, graffiti and garbage.

No I don't blame today's world, I blame mostly, the Brazilian government and partly the Brazilian population for not thinking that this could be the Tourist Capital of the world. Foreign money could be flowing in your streets like water, bringing you the progress written in your flag and which you so much deserve, in a land which lacks nothing but the good will to make a profit with it, not to say the opportunities for business which the world is afraid to invest in.

So sad. As a Brazilian, I felt ashamed to show my family this is where I came from, especially when I remember it as being paradise on earth. I have travelled the best and most expensive countries in the world, I'm not just a Brazilian living in North America. You have so much more than what the rest of the world can offer.

All I can hope for is that some day your leaders will wake up to see how much your country is really worth and how beautiful it really is, and clean it up enough to show the world the economic value it has for itself and for the Brazilian population.

To:A Canadian Now but a Brazilian first

A poignant note that I have to agree with. When you take a plane (or bus) while traveling in the country and meet nice Brazilians,you feel that the country deserves better administrators.It is a beautiful country and I fell in love with it when I visited Foz and then the Amazon.

All I can hope for is that some day your leaders will wake up

What leaders? The sad truth is that every nation deserves the government it has.

In another words, this "povinho" will never ever be able to make "money flow on the streets",
because this "povinho" simply isn't able to create a well-organized, rich society. This may sound
harsh, but everybody knows it...

Brazil when you collaspe into a heap of crap... we will buy the pile of s--t... , for a dollar , turn the manure into fertilizer, and donate it to Iraq....

Following my own monitoring, billions of people on our planet receive the mortgage loans from good banks. Thence, there is a good chance to receive a collateral loan in any country.
