  The correct thing to stimulate the economy would be to print yen, put it into the economy without paying interest, wait for the economy to get better, and then remove the yen that was put into the economy over a period of several years.

  It would be great to have the sun go up at 6 am instead of 4 am. Should save a lot of electricity.

  Pretty surprising, but is there any demographic or religious information about the youths?

  They should do it this month. Why pay so much money to other countries for energy when we already have the technology here?

  Aren't there already plans to build a new fast breeder elsewhere? If it weren't for the anti-nuke crowd the monju reactor would already be replaced by new technology.

  I'm trying to start a company and the cost of importing goods now is really hurting a lot. It will definitely slow things down. I miss the days of a stronger yen.

  Their addiction hurts all of society in lost productivity and medical fees (smokers are sick on average 10% more than non-smokers).

  Sooner the better. No reason not to restart reactors that pass safety standards.

  No way. People will have to work themselves to death since they can't go home with the excuse of catching the last train.

  Recovery from what? The population is aging and declining and that is driving the economic problems (which aren't nearly as bad as in most places). Irrational fear of nuclear power is also hurting the economy. It will take more than a few years to rebuild the population, so as usual Aso doesn't know what he is talking about. The birthrate was last at replacement rate in 1973. Aso has been in the Diet since 1979, so he has had plenty of time to reason about the situation and try to fix it.

  It's true. Only women having more children and raising up the next generation of Japanese will save the country.

  The biggest reason for their decline is they don't care about the health of their customers or the ethical production of the food they sell.

  Prices are going up, but incomes have not increased, except for maybe the heads of large companies.

  I'm trying to start a company myself and have to import all my raw materials, since Japan doesn't have natural resources. Everything costs 25% more now, which makes things extremely difficult.
