Priorities

The government is all over the media telling us how the decision to increase the consumption tax cannot wait. It has to be decided right now. Even if the decision is to increase the tax rate more than a year from now, we need the decision now.

But this is the same government — the same DPJ — that has refused to do the other things that need to be done. Especially the things that might alleviate the perceived need to raise the tax rate. For example, the government could have decided not to go ahead and build those three new shinkansen lines. For example, the government could have decided to delay committing to that new line of F-35 fighters. Might have saved a little money. And the government could have sold off some assets.

And there are non-money things that need to be done. Prime among them is redistricting so that it is not just one person one vote but so that all the votes carry equal weight. The courts have already declared the current imbalance unconstitutional. But for this government, there’s no rush to obey the basic law of the land. Much easier to raise the tax rate.
