seppo, if they simply hunker down, they'll sink and bring the rest of Asia, and possibly the world with them. I had hoped they were moving "my way" when they came up with the consumption coupons, but that should have been coupled with a massive advertising campaign, which unfortunately is not there. Down goes the ship...

Politicians in Japan have near zero credibility,
even a PR campaign is not going to be very fruitful given the low esteem they deserve. The people didn't care how rich and rotten they all were as long as everybody had a job, now that people are starting to lose theirs, things might change but Oh! so slowly...

The ship is too big, the rudder is too small... sounds familiar?

Pardon my intrusion, as an Asian, I agree with you that the Japanese will most likely hunker down. That's just the Asian way. In time of crisis, hunkering down is what we do best. It'll take a miracle to change our psyche. Most of the average people in Japan do not feel the crunch in the economy. They feel it some, but they've got jobs, and they've got savings. They may not be manic like our market, but they're steady.
Just my opinion.
