all of this will speed up the departure of the current PM and LDP. Why? because no one will spend it on a digital camera or a new tv. Items that will help the industrial production of this country. Infact it will be spent on diapers (for the young and old) and fish for food. Items that people need now and ironically the discounted items come all the way from China.

What can I say.. I am just a foreigner living in Japan.

Perhaps restaurants and alcohol companies will eventually get most of this money.

Wedge politics Japanese style. With the left hand, undercut the only serious alternative to LDP dictatorship through the use of timely allegations of fraud, with the right hand start bribing the population.
