The massive bill for rebuilding the areas devastated by the earthquake/tsunami/TEPCO disaster has necessarily strained government finances. As a result, there is a very understandable cutting back on some other programs.

Unfortunately, this “other programs” does not include military spending or the slush funds to local municipalities that accept nuclear power plants in their backyards. Instead, it is things like child support that the DPJ campaigned on and the LDP-KMT (KMT=KoMeiTo) oppose. Why? Because the LDP-KMT coalition is making cutting these programs the price of their support for additional bond issues to finance reconstruction and the TEPCO clean-up. In effect, the LDP-KMT is saying, “we’ll only help you do the things we think should be done if you curtail some of your vote-getting programs.” In effect, the LDP-KMT coalition is holding the distressed areas hostage to political posturing.

Worse, the LDP-KMT are not just calling for the programs to be curtailed, they are demanding that the DPJ engage in public self-flagellation over this.

And even worse, the DPJ is going along with this travesty instead of fighting back. Rather than say it badly misjudged the financial situation the DPJ should say its policies were doable until the LDP-KMT’s nuclear power policies blew up.
