Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi revealed at a press conference on the 10th that the unused amount of the defense budget for fiscal 2023 is expected to be about 130 billion yen. Hayashi cited the lower than expected contract amount for defense equipment and other items, and the difference between the budgeted and actual personnel in personnel costs, etc., as reasons for this, and explained, “I have heard that the unused amount is not higher than in previous years.” The government has set a goal of strengthening defense capabilities, and has decided to increase defense spending for the five years up to fiscal 2027 to about 43 trillion yen, 1.5 times the previous amount, and also plans to implement a tax increase to cover part of the budget. The fact that the budget has not been fully used has become clear, and this may affect the tax reform discussion at the end of the year regarding the start of the defense tax increase. Hayashi emphasized, “As the security environment becomes increasingly severe, drastic strengthening of defense capabilities is an urgent task to protect the lives and peaceful lives of the people.” The Ministry of Defense and the Self-Defense Forces have been hit by a series of scandals, including the revelation that the crew of a Maritime Self-Defense Force submarine was receiving food and drink entertainment using secret funds provided by Kawasaki Heavy Industries, the company that received the order for the submarine.

Ministries and agencies: “Got any money left over? Give it to us.” LDP and Komeito: “Got any money left over? Give it to us.” Mr. America: “Fumio, you”re an Asian leader that America recognizes. You obviously know that America can put Japan”s defense budget to good use, right? Now, please talk to the military-industrial complex.”
It”s the same as with anime, because they”re so well-established that they can make things on a low budget, even if the budget is suddenly increased, they can”t spend it all and it all disappears into eating and drinking.
Subsidies to cooperative universities could be increased and used to develop more efficient drones and improve firearms, but these crazy jimins don”t do anything that doesn”t benefit their interests. And on top of that, this is what happens when traitors who think they won”t take advantage of Chinese EVs as long as they get money run the government.
In light of Ukraine, why not increase stockpiles of ammunition and consumables to a year”s worth of full-scale war? Or save some money for nuclear armament.
>>32 What? You want a war that lasts a year? The Self-Defense Forces flourish for a year, and the people have nothing to eat. I don”t want a super long war like that.
Lin-san = China”s honey trap man = China thinks the Self-Defense Forces are annoying = If there”s a surplus in the budget, cut it! Public opinion will come = China operation successful! Conclusion: Lin-san is still a spy lol
