Bob, Haruo Shimada in the first article in your last post states that Japan would have to issue deficit financing bonds to finance a tax cut. Does anyone know, can't these bozos just print money like other governments, or is there some law or constitutional amendment that would have to be passed before they can proceed with tax cuts if the cuts are projected to cause a deficit?

OT LOL at the Japan tax article. I hope the IRS doesn't find out about this, they'll hire his speechwriter. More seriously, no wonder Japan is having problems! The gov't is taking 65% of the profits in taxes, and doesn't even have the kind of military budget we do.
