Right ? Smile. On the other hand it is well known that Lula does a lot a public speeches as to high social and infrastructure budgets, that later are much reduced as money not freed, without much fanfare for obvious reasons. For the Infrastructure there was a budget this year of over 5 billions Reais, but only 1.21 billions were freed and spent. So why voted originally for 5 billions ? Lula just want to show you, not even give the smell or the flesh of the carrot ! Same for most of his promises before and after having being elected President. - Guest Tue, 29 Nov 2005 09:17:24 +0100 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4610/1/#pc_1452 \"Lula said that one of the problems with basic sanitation was that most of it was underground pipeline. \"Basic sanitation is not an easy way to get political mileage. It is hard to name an underground pipeline after a politician. So politicians shy away from this kind of infrastructure,\" he said.\" Just like himself. More money was spent on \"Air Lula\", the new government Jet (an Airbus 319) than on basic sanitation. \"The federal government will release 4.084 billion reais (a little less than US$ 2 billion) for basic sanitation in states and municipalities announced President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, earlier this month.\" He\'s been saying this for years. Why should we believe him now. Besides, this money probably will only go to areas under the control of the PT. This is just loads of crap coming from Lula. - Guest Mon, 28 Nov 2005 11:21:04 +0100
