Japan's fiscal health put on backburner in race to choose next PM

Military spending is increasing. This Kyodo article is silent about it. It is the LDP's number one priority.

Japan is quickly losing its financial wherewithal. The GDP figures in recent years are absolutely dire and show that Japan is a dead duck in the water.

I think Japan's fiscal health has been on backburner for a long time now.

Japan is quickly losing its financial wherewithal.

It's the world's biggest creditor nation. lol.

￥To restore fiscal soundness, debate in the Diet is necessary, and a decent prime minister is needed.

Considering the duration of the presidential election, I don't think it's a big deal.

Or will things work out if we decide things without a leader?

If Kishida were to implement some policy regarding fiscal soundness now, no one believes that it would be effective.

Japan's economy is finished! Social unrest will only increase!

Only the Chinese or Koreans have such a wish.

As someone mentioned above, Japan is both the world's largest debtor and creditor nation. Unfortunately, Japan's economy can still withstand a further weakening of the yen￥

the worst among advanced nations

What are these "advanced nations"?

@JeffLee

Imagine Japan as a pair of lopsided scales.

Imagine a country where a law graduate can’t get a job in the car industry.

Oh, yes he can but there is a requirement to work on a production line for two years.

That is today’s Japan.
