Any budget cuts are really only good news. The budget deficit
threatens the support of the real, which threatens our returns.
They need to follow a tight fiscal policy and they are doing it.

In Brazil, many public programs are guaranteed - over 80% of
government spending is constitutionally guaranteed in the form
of public worker wages and pensions. Cutting is very difficult,
and requires in some cases constitutional amendments. That Congress
is able to do this bodes well for Brazil's future stability -
they are doing the right thing.

Re: Telebras-specific cuts, foreign investment will more than
make up for any short term cuts. Telebras' representative told
me directly that Telebras is an easy target because the private
sector will easily invest more in it than the government could
ever do. The ING analyst echoes this.

Beware though - I tend to have a knack for having crucial
unknowable stock-breaking news released just after my article
is published despite company assurances. I had personally talked
with Oxford, Creative, and now Telebras and came away assured
from all three interviews.
