Deputy PM Kan is saying 'deflation' which is softer than saying 'Japan is on the precipice of a death spiral'.

When times are tough someone's going to get shafted. JAL is guilty of trying to keep too many people happy.

Delta should invest in JAL and the Hatoyama govt should promote this deal.

Returning to the article above, Ichihashi is playing the system to his benefit. Will his case be decided by jury? If so, he is setting up a pretext for his case.
