Abe-nomics will be worse than Reganomics. Abe has been kicked off from office in 2007. It will repeat again.

This Abe reign is going to end in tears. They're just going to do things for the sake of doing them.

I just hope the new government won't drown in ritualism and will make some actual changes.
