Noah Hirsch Current Events 6/6: Brazils Corrupt President

Noah Hirsch

The top court of Brazil issued a plea bargain testimony last week accusing President Michel Temer, and the two presidents that came before him, of accepting millions of dollars in bribes.  This testimony comes from the chief executives of the largest meat packing company in the world.  This accusations make it seem like impeachment is just around the corner for Michel Temer.  It is also unlikely that hw will be able to push through the economic reforms crucial for recovery from the one of the worst recessions on record.  

This story remind me of our current corrupt president and it pains me to think that other countries are having to deal with political leaders similar to the ones we have been forced to deal with.  Hopefully impeachment with be granted for Brazil and for us.
