Steve's barking at Brazil's no bread too much circus

Remember from the history books how the Roman Republic kept the populaces happy with full bellies and entertained. Well it seems to me that the of  Brazil is trying to give the people of Brazil somethings that they could all be proud of, holding the world cup and the Olympics so why is there rioting in the streets? Perhaps the government forgot to keep the peoples belly full.
Now it seems that the rest of the wold is happy with Brazil and until yesterday or the day before it was a good place to invest your money after all it's GDP and it's GNP keep going up  and I was told on the tube that income disparity percentage wise was going down (what ever that means).Ah but even the reporter on the financial news network that I was watching stated that the poor (which there are many) in Brazil couldn't afford a small increase in the bus fare. One could say that it was lowing the poor's discretionary income but that would be a lie, the poor in Brazil have no discretionary income. Now it's also come to my attention through this same financial news network that a lot of people in Brazil are upset that the Government is spending all this money on the World Cup and the Olympics and 88 percent of the roads (and there are plenty of them) are unpaved. There are way too many shanties in Brazil why can't the government build new housing?
Now this rioting and calling the government corrupt is news to me, especially when the president of Brazil Dilma Rousseff rating in April was 65 percent called her good to excellent. Over night her government is corrupt and incompetent.


Now I'm in shock again, I'm usually in favor of Sports venue being built, after all new housing is needed for Olympic contestants and when the Olympics are over this housing should be turned over to the poor.
When planning to host World Wide Sporting events the host country normally improves it's infrastructure and creates hundreds if not thousand temporary good paying jobs.
