In this paper, I will be analyzing a conflict that have been very present in the News lately in my country and all over the social networks, which is the political situation before and after the impeachment of the former Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff and the mandate of the new president now in the head of state, Michel Temer.
For this task, I will be using the root-cause analysis as I see it more fit to deal with a more complex subject such as this one.
Defining the problem
The situation is that the Brazilian government faces a massive internal debt that goes way beyond its earnings in taxes. As a result, Brazil’s unemployment rates are hitting records and inflation have been severe, especially with food prices.
This big debt was generated by the last government’s poor administration of its resources, and this is one of the main causes that motivated Dilma Roussef’s impeachment, as she infringed a law of fiscal responsibility, making place for her successor, Michel Temer.
Defenders of the previous government allege that this law have always been infringed by previous governments and it never caused an actual impeachment like now. In their discourse, this whole impeachment process had strictly political motivations and it was a “coup d’état” and a disrespect to Brazilian democracy.
The truth is that no other government have infringed this law so largely like Dilma Rousseff did. She trespassed her spending limit over 20 times more than the president who had
The growing national deficit is a looming problem in the United States now more than ever. The national debt is constantly increasing and government spending is out of control. If these issues are not solved then they could spell disaster for the nation’s economy when the infamous debt ceiling is finally reached. Currently the national policy on the debt is to continue raising the debt limit until a solution is found that is agreeable between both parties in Congress. The two main issues of over spending and the constant raising of the debts ceiling by Congress can both be resolved by government spending reform, balancing the federal budget and initiating pro-growth policies in order to increase the government’s tax revenue.
For More than two decades Brazil suffered badly from high inflation, economic decline, domestic and foreign debt. In 1993 country’s Inflation reached 30 percent a month and as a result the country wouldn’t sustain growth. After many unsuccessful plans to control the inflation, finally Real Plan of Fernando Henrique Cardoso, minister of finance, worked out and brought the inflation down to a single digit.
Since the nation’s very beginning, it has carried a debt from the American Revolution. Only once in the entire U.S. history has been the debt zero, during President Andrew Jackson’s administration in the 1830’s. President Jackson set a budget like the other future and past presidents, but actually stayed within its parameters. However, the debt kept growing after his presidency and reached $18 trillion dollars today. The world has changed a lot since the 1830’s, the methods used during that period can no longer be the solution in 2015 because there are just too many factors that must be considered. The size and the population of the country have changed dramatically, foreign relationships are far more complicated and broader, and people’s expectations of the government are different.
This stems from the fact that many Brazilians are fed-up with politics in the country. President Dilma Rousseff’s recent impeachment and the criminal charges many
The people of a country have a right to inquire about the actions of their countries leaders. Issues found in a political leaders exploits creates political unrest and directly affect the economy of these countries. South Africa and Brazil exemplify the repercussions in an economy when an examination of a leaders’ ethics occurred. Most notable comparisons between the two countries involve what the leaders accomplished in their position of power to excite such a negative reaction, the unfavorable impacts in these countries’ economies, and the people’s reactions to the allegations made against their president.
When α government spends more thαn the revenue collected from tαx, tαriff, αnd other fee revenues, it must borrow to cover the deficit it fαces which when αccumulαted over the yeαrs becomes the nαtionαl debt. Internαl αnd externαl debts αre the two types of nαtionαl debt. Internαl debt includes the αmount borrowed from sources within the country. The government rαises this money by selling securities, government bonds, αnd bills. While externαl debt is the money borrowed from foreign sources. These sources mαy include privαte sources, other countries, αnd the Internαtionαl Monetαry fund. This pαper will explore the reαsons αnd consequences of the high nαtionαl debt fαced by the United Stαtes of αmericα. Furthermore it will αlso discuss wαys the reαson for this excessive spending cαn be eliminαted or reduced. economists forecαst thαt by 2030 the current αccount deficit would surge up to $5 trillion on αnnuαl bαsis which would constitute up to 15% of the country’s GD. This entire deficit will cumulαtively contribute in further inflαting the level of foreign debt thαt would burden the economy which would imply greαter imposition of bαck-breαking tαxes on the people of the country.
Esau and Jacob illustrates the mix of Brazilians’ uncertainty and indifference during the fall of the monarchy, the flaws of their political system, and provides insights into 19th century society.
The fact remains that Brazil, Earth’s fourth biggest democratic government, plunged into political turmoil in a matter of years (2). On May 12 2016, Brazil’s Senate voted 55 to 22 to suspend President Dilma Rousseff, advancing impeachment proceedings against her for allegedly breaking government budget restrictions. But while the legal basis for her removal hangs on disputed interpretations of budgetary law, the debate
Over the past few years of global economic instability, most governments have struggled to find adequate funding to continue providing the much-needed resources to the members of their state. Consequently, this has translated to significant budget cuts and the introduction of strict austerity measures at unprecedented levels.
The Petrobras scandal has definitely put Brazil back to square one. The country has seen tremendous growth over the last two decades; however, this scandal is occurring during a pivotal part during Olympic season. Petrobras is highly indebted, meaning it owes a large amount of money to pay back a monetary loan.

Brazil’s economy has been suffering for quite some time now. The country, part of the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India, and China) grouping, was supposed to bring in a new wave of economic prosperity through abounding growth rates through the coming years. It was successful for a while when it experienced impressive growth rates on its commodities and energy exports; however, once China’s economy started to slow down, Brazil’s slowly
Brazil is Latin Americas largest economy and since the 1990’s has shown steady economic reforms. These reforms were necessary as Brazil suffered years of hyperinflation as high as 1000% and deficit spending. The government decided to pursue economic policies that changed the Brazilian economy into a dynamic market based system.
