Japanese minister admits profligate government spending has brought economy to brink of collapse:

TOKYO (AP) -- Japan's finance minister said Thursday that the burgeoning public debt has pushed the nation's finances to the verge of collapse.

Kiichi Miyazawa's remarks in Parliament amounted to a public admission that the government can no longer afford attempts to spend itself out of an economic slump that is deepening again after some signs of recovery.

Japan's finances are ``very close to collapsing,'' Miyazawa said.
