Brazilian Election

The Brazilian public voted for the new president of Brazil to be Dilma Rousseff.  She is a former Marxist guerrilla fighter who was imprisoned and tortured under the military dictatorship. A trained economist, she then became a local and state government official and President Lula da Silva's chief of staff. Now she is the first woman in Brazil to be president. 

Brazils new Federal Deputy in Sao Paulo is Francisco Oliveira Silva - known as Tiririca or Grumpy.  His Quote for winning:

"What does a federal deputy do? Truly, I don't know. But vote for me and I will find out for you," was another of his messages.

He has just passed a literacy test.  Even though he can´t write...

As I learn about the Brazilian goverment it seems clear to me this is where the country has went all wrong, uneducated criminals have taken over the country.  They steal and abuse the public and the people are so uneducated that they don´t see what is happening right under their noses.  With high taxes, poor education  and so little jobs for the "real people" and so little pay for them.  I wonder what the goverment are actually doing or what they are planning to do to get this country up and running normally.  It is true, Brazil has taken the stage for international relations and providing economical growth but for the people who are homeless, without food and without education, I feel this should be the main priority for this country.  I doubt the goverment see this as this doesnt make them money, it looses them money.

Current president "Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva"
