Rio used to get most of the oil royalties. (Campos Basin is offshore Rio). Now it will be most equitatively distributed among the other states. They have been exploding with investments. Wanted even more.

Greece is unique - after hearing the complaint of their head of state that 6% is too much interest to pay at a time those workers retire at age 61 it is an outrage. Even the change to 63 as formal retirement age IS unacceptable IMHO v. the US 67 The guy is smoking something and IMHO Greece not only cheated on the EU with the help of GS but continue to be disconnected from reality - Papandreou arrogance knows no bounds as are those government employees in Greece They deserve what they got austerity plans for at least a decade and if they do not want to work, like any one else, until after age 67, then let them starve . If retirement in Germany is 67 then why Greece 63? ... and the Greeks think it is a great sacrifice In most of the EU retirement age is 65 years old (except lazy French)
