THEN.... \"I believe Brazil is migrating to a new development model... What model ? New model? There wansn\'t even an OLD model. No adjectives necessary here,right? People of Brazil behold: \"The signs of this future can already been seen\" Where did I see that stupid slogan before? By the way, \"future can be seen\"? Where? When? What\'s even better. The brazilian people ALWAYS believe in this crap. OH, my... Look here\'s a math question for you. How do you double the so called \" Renda per Capita\" ( I hope I wrote it correctly)? Simple.
