    Good job, Mr. Aso, you managed to sink Japanese stocks all by yourself!

    How about creating some more debt and re-concreting a few rivers!

    Hey Aso, the US promised $700 billion to shore up banks, cut interest rates and the DOW still continues to drop like a stone. I would sit it out and wait to announce any plans until we find a bottom.

    Indeed, but Aso needs to make sure the owners of small businesses keep getting their bribes just in case they decide to vote for the DPJ. He's called for another ¥2 trillion supplementary budget apparently, which will include bigger debt guarantees for small and medium-sized businesses. Just another pointless waste of money that Aso is hoping will keep the LDP in power.

    Aso wants to extend loans even further through his friend's ShinTaro Ginko!
