i hope people realize when inflation increases, it is the equivalent of a consumption tax increase as you are paying more yen for the same item you bought last month. So with this monetary easing, the govt is basically manipulating you into paying a higher consumption tax without your knowing it. If the dumb govt wants to strengthen the yen, how about fixing the fundamental structure of the economy first before all of this manipulation.
Inflation + low growth= stagflation, which is much much worse than deflation imo.

What do you expect when you put a former NHK announcer in as the minister of finance?! This is completely on Noda for putting Azumi, who I've said many times is in way over his head , in this role.

this was probably the best profile/interview in the Executive Impact section up to now. At least, the most interesting.

completely agree with Himajin.
People need to be aware of the reality of diabetes and the causes of it. Not just listening to these so-called "experts" who do nothing but spew the nonsense from the US govt about eating lots of servings of grains and carbs for a "healthy" diet.
Read and understand the science behind diabetes rather than listening to these health associations who are sponsored by big pharma and processed food corporations

she is a hypocrite, but what gave her diabetes wasnt the cream or butter. It was the sugar and carbs.

definitely pro-tax on sugar. It is much deadlier than tobacco and any other carcinogens out there. And I dont want to pay health care for those who OD on sugar and get your predictable diseases.

Azumi is in way over his head. He should be the next minister to be replaced.
