The Spin

This massive stimulus is fiscal recklessness that threatens to trigger a devastating bond and currency crisis. With debt already at 240% of GDP and inflation above target, pumping more money into the Japanese economy will send interest rates soaring and the yen plummeting further.

The stimulus package represents responsible fiscal policy designed to protect Japanese citizens from rising prices while building a strong economy. Strategic spending on energy subsidies and tax cuts will stabilize inflation and boost GDP growth by 1.4% annually over three years.
