Charles de Gaulle: "Brazil is the country of the future... and always will be". I bet a lot of Brazilians are wishing they have back the tens of billions US spent on hosting the World Cup and upcoming Olympics.

because its not a recession its a complete economic collapse

[SubMareener]

Not to worry! These things are never contagious! Never! ;-)

[Cowboy Bob]

Don’t worry. Hosting the Olympics will be the financial spark that turns the country around. Just like it did for Greece!

Allowing immigrants from Mexico might help! They can do the work that Brazilians won’t do.

[’I’ve never seen anything like this’]

My exact words, several times, to my mother during 2008-2009.

And it’s still true to this very day. Here in the good old U.S.A.

Brazil catching Venezuelitis?

[Western Phil]

Brazil is a political basket case. A friend living there said they have 33 political parties and they all have the word socialist or communist in their name.

What Brazil really needs is more Govt regulation, taxes, welfare (vote buying), and Govt control. It has done so much for them and other Socialist countries around the world.

The worldwide depression has been in place since Obama was elected President.

[Recompennation]

the country is in its longest recession since the 1930s.
So is USA if you discount the government ongoing stimulus in the form of gifting away an ever increasing deficit.
