My Way News - Brazil's Rousseff narrowly wins second term
So Brazil continues along the course charted by Venezuela. Rousseff will continue to spend taxpayer money to please her voters and the people of surrounding S. American countries with socialist governments besides. What with all of this money being extracted from taxpayers by the government in order to make everyone prosperous it is inexplicable that Brazil's economy has been performing poorly. What is wrong with these corporations, anyway, that they should get the jitters when socialists are in power? Why is capital fleeing the country? It's just bad luck, as Heinlein would say.
In any case, there's no need for the US to worry about Brazil. It's most likely that Brazil won't be becoming any kind of economic power house now.
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) — Left-leaning President Dilma Rousseff was re-elected Sunday in the tightest race Brazil has seen since its return to democracy three decades ago, giving the juggernaut Workers' Party its fourth-straight presidential victory and the chance to extend its social transformation of the globe's fifth-largest country.
