Aro, you might not like Aznar but the fact is he performed economic affairs really well. I have a feeling Lula will not. The Economist magazine is just speculating. Sure he might say he will adopt pro-capitalist reforms as the previous Cardoso adminstration did, but then again lets wait and see. He could become another Chavez... who will bring a country down the tubes.

Yes it does... Heh... I don't care... my love life...
Spencer, I wouldn't call this a proper forum to base what the reality is on... there are more leftys here...

That's a change in CA policy. I did know they opposed the expenses of the Romanow plan, but not necessarily the contents.
I'd like to see Harper's explanation for the increased rigidity imposed by the plan? That is not something I see myself.

Fez, as I said before, I don't like Aznar, but he's not a fool. He has the "responsability of power", as well Lula. Brasil isn't Venezuela, and we don't have those complicated relations between Army, politics and Oil companies. Chavez was a "golpista" (I can't find the correspondent word in English) and I don't like him, no matter how "social" his speech is. I believe in Democracy.
Lula has a big responsability here... and he's trying to balance the public accounts. He knows how sensitive the economy could be. Don't expect from him anything crazy or stupid... But don't expect a total omission of social issues. We are top-ranked in "social distance"... I mean, the gap between the rich and the poor people here is outrageous. It's not good for anybody, even the rich people. The market just can't solve this by itself.
Well lets just hope Lula can prove me wrong and do things correctly. I am just speculating. Not supporting a military coup or something like that.
Golpista.. means coup leader.
Lula probably has a bit more credit riding behind his adminstration. But I am very cautious to give him any support or any hinting that he might be okay.

BTW I actually like the way Lula is talking. He seems to understand that if he acts to leftist that the international investors as well as Brazil's own investors will abandon the country leading the economy into a nose dive. He seems to want to be an economic concervative and a social progressive. As long as he keeps an eye on the bottom line and doesn't chase off the companies which will pay for his social programs then he might just lead Brazil out of the funk it's been for most of the last 25 years.

Centerville-You would feel most at home in Centerville, which means that you are more or less pleased the status quo-you think the US government has just about the right amount of control over your economic and personal decisions. Your neighbors include democratic and republican party leaders and others who call themselves "moderates" and "centrists."
Interestingly Bush is a moderate according to this poll.
At least I'm on the conservative side of the centre.

I think that poll is skewed and inaccurate. I am no centerist...
