blah blah blah.

Just empty words from a useless gov. Been here before. Heard it all before. The LDP are MASTERS when it comes to pledges. As to concrete action... different story.

I'll believe it when I start seeing results.

This word ‘sustainable’ gets thrown around a lot of lates here in Japan. Very in vogue. Would love for one of these govt spokesperson to have a go at explaining exactly what it means though. What are they sustaining? Seems a lot like buzzwords and rhetoric to me. What are the plans man?
