I think the American people ought to care what is happening in Brazil. It's the biggest |pienso que||||deberían||||||||||

economy in South America and seventh largest in the world, but it's unfortunately in |||||sétima|||||||infelizmente| ||Suramérica|||séptima||||mundo|||desafortunadamente en|

a recession. It's in a standstill because the current policies have stunted the growth |||||parálisis económica||||||reducido||crecimiento económico |||||estagnação||||políticas econômicas||impedido o crescimento||

of its economy. You have new forces of change in Brazil that the Brazilian people are taking

a good hard look at. New voices that say, “yes, we can protect the environment, yes ||||||||||||||meio ambiente|

we can take care of the very poor of our country, but the only way—the best way really to |||||||pobres||||||||||||

do that—is to have the economy growing and that means free market policies, free trade

with our neighbors, and better relationships with the United States.

Brazilians will go to the polls on October 5. The incumbent president, a woman named |||||las urnas||||presidenta en funciones||||

Dilma Rousseff is seeking reelection for the second four-year term. She represents the |||buscando||||||||||

status quo essentially, which unfortunately has moved Brazil to a recession. Those statist |status quo|||||||||||estatistas

policies, government kind of top-down management of the economy, some corruption scandals that

have undermined confidence of investors. She is being challenged by traditional political |socavado||||||||||

party leader who offers a free-market vision, his name is Aécio Neves But there is a very

interesting new candidate that might have captured a lot of peoples' attention—Marina

Silva. She is from sort of the activist, environmentalist community, but she's also been Environmental ||||||||ambientalista||||||ambiental

Minister. She's definitely, literally a rags to riches story. She is offering a new

vision of growing the economy. Yes, taking care of the very poor, but understanding that

free market is the best way to do that. The American people ought to care about this because

if we can have Brazil growing—not only is it a different, reliable source of energy ||||||||||||fuente confiable||| se pudermos ter o Brasil a crescer - não só é uma fonte de energia diferente e fiável

close to home, but it becomes really a pillar of a South American economy. If we can get

these economies moving in the right direction--understanding that a free market is the best way to grow

opportunity for their people—that becomes a terrific partnership. If these economies ||||||||asociación estratégica||| oportunidade para os seus cidadãos - isso torna-se numa parceria fantástica. Se estas economias

are more productive—if they're more competitive, we are able to compete with the rest of the

world; with Asia and with Europe. So, really having the Americas firing on all cylinders ||||||||||||||máxima capacidad

is important. Unfortunately, right now, Brazil is not performing as well as it should. You ||||||||está funcionando||||||

have a couple of these top tier candidates who are offering free-market messages and

the Brazilian people are paying close attention.

There will be an election October 5 and a runoff on October 26. It looks to be as if

the incumbent president, Dilma Rousseff and Marina Silva will move to a second round.

The incumbent still has an advantage there built in, naturally, but having said that,

there is a very good opportunity that the Brazilian people will choose a free market ||||||||||||||mercado hay||||||||||||||

course that could be very promising for their relationship with the United States.
