Sadly, Japanese politics has turned into a competition of who can promise more handouts funded by debt. Anyone advocating for fiscal discipline is ostracized. It feels like we are reaching a point where only external management by the US or IMF can fix our broken system.

tech and ai should be day traded anything long term silver
Every country has changed base interest rate time to time, why not Japan! It is also said that government bonds of other countries should not be released into the market little by little In consultation with the U.S. government どの国も基準金利を随時変更していますが、日本はなぜ変更してはいけないのでしょうか。他国の国債を市場に流してはいけないと言う事も不思議 しかもその国の財務省との協議の上で。。。 .
Yesterday,Takaichi again said Japan’s fiscal policy has been that of “excessive austerity “.She is about aggressively increase fiscal spending if she win the election.
