A VERDADE É FILHA DO TEMPO, NÃO DA AUTORIDADE

QUEM PENSOU AO CONTRÁRIO? E POR QUE A PRESIDENTE DILMA NÃO SERIA UMA MULHER FORTE? POR ISSO, DEVEMOS MUITO RESPEITO Á ESSA MULHER. A HISTÓRIA DO NOSSO PAÍS A TERÁ SEMPRE COMO UMA HEROÍNA, SE ARREPENDERÃO QUEM PENSOU AO CONTRÁRIO, QUEM SEGUIU OS DITAMES DE NOSSA IMPRESSA ATUAL, PERVERSA E DERROTISTA. --SEGUE ABAIXO O TEXTO EM INGLÊS--- Eu,mesmo, votei em Dilma e não me arrependo!

. -----xx-x-x-----xxxxxx-xxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx By Alexis Glick with Meghan Casserly and Ricardo Geromel Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff recently encountered a young couple in their 30s, with a brood of young children and a hopeful outlook on the future. Until recently the father had driven a bus in Brasília, but thanks to an expansion of electricity and irrigation infrastructure, he turned previously unusable land in the countryside into a thriving vegetable farm, along with a side business raising chickens. “How much do you make?” Rousseff asked him. “Four times what I used to earn as a bus driver,” the independent farmer responded. More money was coming in, and the costs of raising a family in the countryside are lower as well. His new goal for his children: degrees in agricultural science. “We are wagering,” smiles Rousseff, sitting in her minimalist, art-filled office in the Presidential Palace in Brasília as she recalls that conversation, “that people will be able to stand up on their own feet and walk by themselves.” Her wager–Brazil’s wager–is on entrepreneurship. The past two decades have been formidable for her country: curbing inflation (by creating the real and pegging it to the U.S. dollar), privatization (notably, the state-owned telecommunication and mining companies) and a commodities boom (soybean and iron ore). Twenty years ago Brazil’s GDP was at $358 billion and ranked 11th in the world; today, at $2.5 trillion, it’s between sixth and eighth, depending on who’s counting. No other BRIC balances democracy and widespread wealth nearly as well. Half of Brazil’s population now occupies the middle class–their output alone surpasses the entire economy of neighboring Argentina. “There has been a shift, a change in the way we are [perceived],” says Rousseff, 64, whose position atop this shift now makes her the third most powerful woman in the world, according to FORBES’ annual rankings.
