As much as it scares me to think the world's third largest economy is in the hands of someone like Abe, I sure hope for everyone there that his policies have a positive impact. Otherwise this recession the country has entered into could be a long one.

And who got the country into this mess? INCUMBENTS! The only way to bring change is to vote for anyone other than the person in office. Unfortunately, voters have short term memory and continue to believe it is the other politician who is the problem. However, Japan has a revolving door in politics so an incumbent only sits out until the next election.

Yesterday I went to "Makeman" and surprised by finding that every 9 out of 10 items are not Made in Japan. Forget about exporting. Japanese product are not affordable inside Japan itself. Printing money and screwing BOJ is temporary solution.

The new government is not conservative. It is made up of liberal democrats.
