Seven senators from her resentful coalition have already quit, and more warn they may follow. Ms Rousseff has put most of her legislative plans on hold until relations improve. But she is training her remaining firepower on what may be Brazil's biggest public-policy problem: a voracious pension system that threatens to bust the budget and damage the economy. On February 29th the lower house of Congress approved a reform of civil servants' pensions. It would cap the defined-benefit plans of future federal-government employees at 3,916 reais ($2,150) a month, the same level as private-sector workers. Those who want more would have to contribute to a separate fund. That would make the system less unfair and, in the long term, a bit cheaper. The bill still must pass the Senate and Ms Rousseff's powers of persuasion may not prove sufficient. Opini Anda Klik untuk menuliskan opini Anda tentang koleksi ini! Kembali
