The Olympics has already started haunting this govt, like I predicted it would.

The cases include 292 violations of laws and regulations covering 7.5 billion yen in spending. And those responsible for "292 violations" did they get named, were they punished? Perhaps a vigorous spanking with a wet tissue? I find these findings to be a waist of tax payer money itself as it's hardly believeable.

This goes well with the report the other day about the protest for using public money to pay for the new emperor’s indoctrination ceremony.

Only billions of yen being wasted, don’t worry!

The people will keep on paying....

Paying for Tepco wasn’t listed, redesigning a stadium to be used once wasn’t listed, funding whaling wasn’t listed, selling land to Abe’s friends wasn’t listed...boring, back to bed.

Depends on your definition of waste!

Spending, whether you like (not-wasting) or not (wasting), is good for economy because it becomes someone's income - a source of further spending.

Please study just a little economics before making such statements please.
