Comments for Brazil Vows to Repair 16,000 Miles of Roads in Bad Shape at http://www.brazzilmag.com , comment 0 to 1 out of 1 comments http://www.brazzilmag.com Mon, 30 Nov 2009 06:45:57 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.brazzilmag.com/content/view/4999/1/#pc_2036 Reais 440 millions can in NO way repair 26000 kms of roads in bad shape and in dangerous state. Furthermore, the US$ 2.5 billions of last year should be checked, because there was an article a few months ago, in this same site, that out of the Reais 5 billions budget only 1.2 billions were freed until October of 2005. Therefore when someone says that in past administrations 50 % of the budget was held back, in this government it is 75 %. Therefore the minister is lying, simply ! And for the guaranteed funds for 2006 and 2007, it will be as in the past : most will be held back. Lula and Palocci have repeated many many times that there is a budget austerity and that they wont change anything. But dont forget, you are in an election year !!!!!!! Promises, promises and promises wil just remain.....promises ! Smile. - Guest Tue, 03 Jan 2006 07:20:38 +0100
