#126 - Kishida's Budget

from Tokyo Wave

How will PM Kishida finance his ambitious plans to increase both defense and child care spending? Will raising the consumption tax and other taxes be inevitable? Aaron and Parker discuss January's foreign entries to Japan hitting 1.5 million, the trade deficit at a record 3.5 trillion yen on energy imports, and a local city doctor fired for verbally attacking students for not wearing masks, and then berating their teachers while wielding a baseball bat.
