A couple of days ago they said they weren’t even thinking of a supplementary budget.
What a suprise.
Borrowing more and more from the future to spend now. What could go wrong…
Good, my parents-in-law and my wife will be happy cause the less money our family spends on electricity and bills, the more money we spend on our daughter, my wife’s dresses, my games and vinyl records.
No one sane can be against this….
Unless you don’t live in JP and just bash Takaichi-san for no reason….
Amazing how this “japanese” sub turns positive news into something negative…
Hey um. This isn’t good!
While this isn’t much it is going to impact inflation in negative ways.
They got caught lieing too hard yesterday and suddenly today free pennies. What a joke.

“Hey your house is on fire. I can piss on it to help put it out! Don’t say I did nothing for you!”

This wasn’t gonna happen if the numerous scandals including lying on her resume weren’t blowing up and tanking her popularity
