Brasília - Brazil's acting president Michel Temer vowed Friday to get Latin America's largest economy back on track after a cascade of crises put an end to 13 years of leftist rule.


Temer presided over the first meeting of his new business-friendly cabinet, setting out its priorities: creating a leaner government Devin McCourty Youth Jersey , balancing finances to address a crippling recession, and rooting out the corruption that a huge judicial probe has uncovered at the highest levels of Brazilian politics and business.


""I want to get the country back on the rails,"" Temer told weekly magazine Epoca in his first interview as president after taking over from suspended predecessor Dilma Rousseff Stephen Gostkowski Youth Jersey , who faces an impeachment trial in the Senate.


Temer's chief of staff, Eliseu Padilha, said the new government faced a challenging to-do list.


""We're living through the worst economic crisis in the history of Brazil Dont'a Hightower Youth Jersey ,"" he told a press conference.


The solution, he said, is ""out with corruption and in with efficiency.""


Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles James White Youth Jersey , the man tasked with restoring confidence in Brazil's economy, said his priority would be cutting spending.


He pledged not to cut the popular social programs launched under the sidelined Workers' Party (PT) -- initiatives credited with helping lift tens of millions of people out of poverty -- as long as beneficiaries really need them.


But he warned: ""Maintaining a social program doesn't mean maintaining the misuse of a social program.""


- Leadership limbo -


Temer asked for patience as his team works to turn around an economy stuck in its worst recession in decades.


""I'm not going to be able to work miracles in two years,"" he said.


That timeframe belies the strange leadership limbo in which Brazil finds itself pending an impeachment trial that could last up to six months.


Political analysts say Rousseff will likely be removed from office for good by a two-thirds vote in the Senate -- and Temer is clearly betting he will hold power until the next presidential election in 2018.


But for now he is stuck coexisting with his running mate-turned-enemy Tom Brady Youth Jersey , who is holed up in the presidential residence planning her defense and attacking the new government.


Underlining the tension in the corridors of power, workers began removing portraits of Rousseff from the presidential palace Friday, only to be told to put them back because Rob Gronkowski Youth Jersey , as Temer himself said, Rousseff is still technically president.
