This Friday, on October 14th, some japanese journalist revealed to the japanese citizens that the present government had in mind to increase the retirement age from 65 to 70 years old in the next years. The purpose of this measure is to decrease the Japanese debt, which is already of 10 trillions of dollars. This is another measure that could make the government fall. Since that the government was elected, they have almost only put negative measures in place for the citizens. The only thing that the government wants to do for the moment is to find a way out from this crisis. But to do it, the only way that the present government seems to want to end this crisis is to punish the citizens by putting measures such as increasing the taxes and increasing the retirement age. But what is happening to Japan is not the fault of the citizens. It is the nature that caused this catastrophe. It is also not the fault of the citizens that the debt is as high as it is right now. So, instead of punishing the citizens, they should try to find measures that would affect the citizens less directly such as increasing the immigration into Japan. Again, a government is supposed to promote democracy which is essentially the people. Right now, the government only cares about the japanese reputation around the world and really don't care about their citizens. Is the government going to fall in the next months? Who knows?!!
