Dilma was also helped by the commodity super-cycle, which filled Brazil’s coffers and made it possible to run ambitious cash-transfer programs that helped pull countless families out of poverty. These policies were actually launched by former President Fernando Henrique Cardoso of Neves’s Party of Brazilian Social Democracy (PSDB), but are associated in the popular imagination with Dilma’s political mentor and predecessor, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, also of the PT.
迪尔马还获得了商品超级周期的支持，商品超级周期让巴西资金充裕，因此能够实施大手笔现金转移支付几乎，将无数家庭带出了贫困。这些政策实际上是尼维斯所在的巴西社会民主党（Party of Brazilian Social Democracy）前总统卡多佐（Fernando Henrique Cardoso）启动的，但在群众的印象中，这是迪尔马的政治导师兼前任、同样来自劳工党的卢拉（Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva）的功劳。迪尔马声称艾西奥会削减这些广受支持的计划（但她并无证据），成功地重创了社会民主党。
