Good points. I just don't agree with the rethoric that this is the worst Brazil ever had. Specially ignoring that in the nineties no corruption scandal was ever investigated... there are numerous cases... sadly all hidden under the carpet.

I hope that someday people will judge their representatives not based on their sympathy for a given party, but on actual meritocracy.

I don't think the actual government is the best, I just think it is the least worst we could get at the present time.

So we agree to disagree. The PT (workers party) government changed Brazil forever by:

- creating thousands of politically-appointed public servant jobs and other money-sinks. - corroding the power of one of the best legacies from the former Cardozo president: Lei de Responsabilidade Fiscal (fical responsability act), that was meant to prevent the executive from overspending.

Their ideas are close to the "Chavismo" that destroyed Venezuela, and they are doing a pretty good job trashing Brazil.
