Oh, der! It took a panel of "uhum" 'experts' to work this out? Abenomics and the mindset of his economist cronies are based on 40 year old ideologies that no longer apply to world economics. This explains his motivation to instill patriotism back into the school system. He believes he can brainwash people into believing Japan is the same country it was 40 years ago.

Only long-term feasible way is to dramatically cut down government budget/spending, hike sales tax while cutting down red tapes & liberalize the private sector, SMEs, household sector as aggressively as possible for the private sector to be the growth engine. Government sector gets a lot smaller, private sector gets a lot bigger.

Abe lacks the will to control spending. He simple follows the failed LDP policy of spending like a drunken sailor on anything and everything.

Sheez. They are basically declaring the government insolvent then.
Time to toughen up and make the right decisions.

"Insolvent"? when it is the one that issues the currency in which its obligations are denominated? That makes no sense.
