Hi KJC, I agree with you that the Japanese will vote the way they would, may figure a way out eventually, and may do so without losing standard of living, and that the road looks pretty tough.
I also note that, historically, during such unfortunate times as they are suffering (apparently obliviously by all accounts, and even happily, by observation of the tourists in Hawaii, Hong Kong and China), voodoo politicians get a crack at powerful offices, and in Japan's case, they may be in already.
Voodoo does not have to work. It is only enough that people believe it will work, downside consequences be ignored.
We will all have to live by the Japanese voters' choice, and thus my worry.
