7.At the abrupt Lower-house election in this February, current Ruling party led by first female Premier won a landslide victory. One of the things they talked big about was
to make foodstuffs consumption-tax-exempt for two years
. But soon later, they started self-justifying that this Policy upsets stores' accounting and register system across the nation
, and changed their Policy to lower consumption tax on foodstuffs to one percent from current eight percent. At any rate, the Tax reduction they appeal is only for two years
. It means that after that, consumption tax rate on food is raised again, right?
-On the second thought, two years later, Upper-house election and quadrennial unified local elections are coming. Today, I leave a memorandum that at that time, one of the main issues must be whether they extend tax reduction or make it permanently or tax increases again
As long as Panjandrums cut consumption tax as they promised.
8. Despite of twice rejection at past local referendums, Casino-bulldozing political party hasn't learned. Now they are persisting extraordinal in establishing Sub-capital, under the pretext of backing up capital function in case of massive natural disasters in current Capital City. There is no denying the evils of over-concentration of business and population in Capital prefecture. At the same time, Exposition prefecture is under the latent risk of massive earthquake
, right? Of course, earthquake if fearful, but meanwhile, there is closer and more urgent matter. At the end of this June, due to a torrential downpour, drainage pump that pump the land water out to the sea submerged and broke down. As a result, much wider became immersible in case of heavy rain and typhoon. Besides, the Drainage pump is said to cost billions of yen to repair. After earning fat profits from Exposition last year, why don't they use it for countermeasures against natural disasters? To sum it up, our country is natural-disaster-ridden country
. Nowhere is absolutely safe.
9. In summer, watermelon is in season. Have you ever tried eating salted watermelon? As a custom, it's been said that putting a bit salt makes watermelon taste sweeter
According to the dictionary about dietetics in my electronic dictionary,watermelon is rich in potassium. Potassium helps eject excess salt from the system. Butif you shake additional salt on watermelon, potassium comes to nothing.
