Nope. As you can see from the poster comments section (normally post #1) there are a number of articles being posted. The convention I’ve learned over the years here on FR on such a thread is truncating and condensing.

Which I did.

All that aside, what are your thoughts on the good UE news in Brazil versus the awful UE news (9.8%) in the US?

What do you think of Rio Olympics diverting attention from the worst unemplymt news in nearly 3 decades?

Between their ability to find new energy resources and their ability to produce alcohol economically, they will soon be energy independent from OPEC.

Keep an eye on Brazil.

I'm apathetic about the Olympics.

Further respondant sayeth not, due to a non-word in the query.

I can see that I definitely need to get you a copy of an old teletype message.

Vowels were practically verboten.

I’ll see if I can find one (hmmm... TWIX...what in the world did that stand for? Can’t remember. :>)

And I do not think they terrorize businesspeople. After a brief spell with Communism and millions dead the Chinese have in essence learned not to hate people who make money and succeed. Third World countries very quickly learn the value of hard work and I am sure they are already forming a business plan to host the Olympics and make a fortune out of it.

Rio, on the other hand, gained jobs, their economy grew at 1.2% and they’ve turned the corner.

How?

Tax Cuts.

Hence the reason why for my tagline.

“Amazing how the rest of the world is recovering from the collapse except for us.”

Well, one thing is that they are free to exploit their national energy sources. We, on the other hand, are not.

Keep forgetting that some folks don’t remember their military days.

OK. But only if you promise to keep forgetting that some people were never enlisted in the first place. :-)

Cheers!

When you add the 571,000 who gave up searching for jobs it’s closer to 800,000.

Funny how when a Republican is in the White House unemployment RISES unless at least 400,000 jobs are created. When a Democrat is in the White House, unemployment FALLS unless at least 400,000 jobs are lost. Total hogwash.

> Send the illegal Brazilians in America home.

You don’t have to.

They’ve been leaving on their own for exactly this reason, and I know what I’m talking about, as I have close connections with the Brazilian communities here in the States.

Even communist/marxist countries have learned how communism/marxism/socialism fails economically. So what do they do? They adopt the free-market, captialistic principles that once made America great. Now, they are still totalitarian regimes. But, because their economies are healthy, they have less threat of revolt and overthrow from their serfs.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Obammie the Commie is busy installing the old failed SOVIET economic policies of the last 80 years.

Michelle's lies: If she SACRIFICED to go there why did her speech say different? Also... about sitting on her daddy's lap at 21 NOT 12?!

Remember when Bush cut taxes and the US economy recovered fastest after 911 tragedy while socialist countries lagged. Seems like a million years ago.

I think Lula is mis-labelled as a commie. He does fight for the rights of the downtrodden, but that’s ‘cause land reform was needed, quite unlike here in the US. Is he a card carrying commie? IMHO, I think not.
