わが町にも定額給付金のお知らせがやってきました。自分で申請しにいかないといけないのでちょっと面倒ですよね。私は定額給付金に反発して”貯金し てやる～！”と息巻いていたのですが、お金を受け取る前にWii Fitを買ってしまいました。英語とダイエットに対してはついお財布のヒモが緩くなってしまう･･･。
将来、年金が期待できない、医療費 がかかる、老後の資金がたくさん必要などたくさん不安があって、思い切ってお金を消費する気になれません。老後は心配しなくて大丈夫！となったら使うかも しれませんが。定額給付金を配ってお金を使ってもらえるようにすると同時に、将来不安を払拭するような提案をしてくれればいいのに。
Will the cash handout plan work?
The Japanese government has decided to give money to all the people to stimulate the economy. The Japanese economy has been bad since the 90's and it seems to be getting worse ever since the global economy went bust. I don't think the cash handout plan works will work because the domestic demand is weak because of government policies.
First, the cash handout plan isn't a long term solution. This kind of stimulus plan needs a lot of money and will sooner or later collapse. Although it will have certain stimulus effects on the economy for the short period of time, Japan need needs a sustainable long-term growth.
Second, our government must introduce structural reforms first rather than hand out money. Unstable employment and lay-offs are urgent problems now. As the recession goes continues, there will be more jobless workers. The current working system makes our society unstable. The government should spend money to reinforce the social structure to secure our lives.
Third, an inadequate safety net is one of the biggest reasons why Japanese people don't want to spend money. Savings have remained high while domestic consumption is being suppressed. Because of the inadequate safety nets, Japanese people need to hoard money for their children's upbringing, health care, and for their pension. Governments should establish better safety nets so that we don't have to save money for the future.
In conclusion, the cash handout alone isn't enough to stimulate the current economy. The government should have provided us the long-term vision at the same time. By introducing structural reforms as well as reinforcing social safety nets, the Japanese economy will begin to recover from recession.
