By CEBR's calculations, Brazil's GDP totalled $2.469 trillion (£1.568 trillion) in 2011, while UK GDP was $2.420 trillion.

Two billion was only a down payment.

The 2 billion was given by Obama via executive order.

You know damn well that the Constitution does not allow the President a blank check.

makes me sick to the stomach that this idiot goes down there, takes the family on our dime, has a party and vacation, takes our money again to give to Petrobas, starts an illegal war, ignores the constitution and then we had idiots in the GOP backing him.

How Soros must have been laughing over that and to think the GOP still does not call the MSM out on anything this idiot does because they think the MSM might call them a name.

Remember when Britannia ruled the waves--and the entire planet?

DECADENCE is a bitch!

the way he has been and his admin over these last 3 years knowing they need to be re-elected is a good indication in how they will really be if they get a 2nd term.

It would be awful and so dangerous that I think the harm they would do would never be overturned again.

Fighting WWII was decadent?

Of course not.

The Normandy Invasion was America's finest hour.

The point is that Great Britain ruled the world, succumbed to decadence, and is now on the fast track to becoming a Third World Country. When the British accepted their decline, they damned themselves and their children to misery.

America can profit from Britain's example, and Americans would if millions of them were not too stupid.

Yes. Decadence is a bitch.

No. Fighting World War II was not decadence. Losing the present culture war is.
