If tighter building laws have weaken BOJ (economy) reverse it. Then tell us how to re-build j-economy, doubt if Shirakawa has any options left.

If tighter building laws prevent deaths (from fires - new regulation: fire detectors) and collapses (from, say, an earthquake) then keep them. Then tell us how to re-build the Japanese economy. I doubt if Shirakawa has any ideas.

The Economic slowdown is not about building standards but crooks that use Sub Prime as a catch word to blame poor people for the financial mess caused by those seeking to steal from all countries worldwide in there global churning of economies. What! is happening is no accident but a careful plan to harm the working people for the advantage of Global money centers to contoll mankind. These innovative products such as derivative bets is what have cause the crash of markets and banks. These banks that are part of the owners of the people of the world always get bailed out by the people of the world.
