1:He disliked the way Brazil was run too, under a cohort of generals after a coup in 1964; he pestered for free elections by leading a Corinthians team with “Democracia” printed on their shirts, and by marching off in 1984-85, when Congress failed to pass the necessary laws, to play for Fiorentina in Italy.2:If this was subversion and “corrupting the youth”, he revelled in his dangerous influence.3:And he didn’t let up: Lula was good, he said, but earned a mere seven or so out of ten for how he had governed Brazil.4:For Sócrates only outright revolution, Fidel-style, rated a ten.

1: Finally, one bad idea is the REINS bill. 2: Passed by the House, it would involve Congress more heavily in rule-making. 3: If there is a body worse than the executive agencies at this kind of thing, it is Congress. A 1999 study by the OECD found that poorly written laws, not subsequent rule-writing, were at the heart of America’s regulatory woes. (No one has been foolish enough to suggest that Congress has become wiser since then.) 4: Jim Cooper, a Democratic House member from Tennessee, says of his colleagues: “People vote on things they have not read, do not have the time to read, and cannot read.” 5: He further despairs of the power of special interests to bend Congress’s will: “There is a pimento lobby,” he says of those who fight for the interests of those who grow the small red peppers served inside olives. “You do not want to cross the pimento people.” 6: In such an environment, getting things undone is at least as hard as getting them done, and perhaps harder still.
