Der frühere japanische Ministerpräsident Ishiba: „Der Ruf nach Sparsamkeit ist nur natürlich, wenn die Blockade der Straße von Hormus noch lange andauert … Wenn wir mit Steuergeldern den Leuten sagen, sie sollen ‚ihre Autos weiterhin fahren wie bisher‘, werden wir unweigerlich irgendwo auf der Strecke auf Probleme stoßen.“

He is telling the truth like it is. Takaichi-san is afraid of taking responsibility. She should be making prudent decisions based on facts on the ground, not some imaginary hopes.
It’s almost a consensus among economists at this point that Takaichi is doing something vastly irresponsible by artificially papering over the problem.
That said, she’s been calling for AI-driven growth and the like from the start, so the irresponsibility isn’t exactly a surprise — but repeated massive spending without funding is worsening the JGB situation. I wonder how long it’ll be before the BOJ has to hike hard to break her childish fantasy. Then again, the BOJ has institutional DNA that tends to prevent exactly that.
I really hope we get a Japanese Volcker.

Why did this guy say NOTHING to the extend that he was basically a frog in office, and then after, he starts to say wise things.
He’s right you know
