On the 27th, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology announced the challenges that would arise if free school lunches were implemented nationwide. After stating an estimate that a financial resource of approximately 483.2 billion yen would be needed per year, the report cited four reasons, including the fact that some schools do not provide school lunches, raising doubts about fairness, and expressed caution about making school lunches free. According to a survey by the ministry, as of September last year, 722 local governments (40% of the total) were independently implementing free school lunch programs at public elementary and junior high schools. The purposes of making it free were “child-rearing support” and “measures to combat the declining birthrate.” In response, the ministry cited four issues that would arise if free school lunches were implemented across the board: (1) There are 610,000 children and students (6% of the total) at schools that do not provide school lunches, raising questions about fairness; (2) School lunches for low-income households are basically free, making this inappropriate as a measure to correct disparities; (3) The appropriateness of using national funds to provide free school lunches to low-income households, which is currently done using local government funds, is questionable; and (4) If the purpose is to combat the declining birthrate, the effectiveness of the measure needs to be examined. Regarding free school lunches, the Constitutional Democratic Party, the Japan Restoration Party, and the Democratic Party for the People jointly submitted a bill to the House of Representatives on the 23rd to implement the scheme from next fiscal year.

The root cause of the declining birthrate is single people over 40 not getting married, having kids, and living as they please, so we should confiscate the retirement savings of these damn single people as a singles tax and use that money as a source of revenue.
I remember a while ago, I was in response to news that a decision had been made to raise salaries for civil servants, either at the local or national level, which would result in an increase in spending of about 380 billion yen, and the civil servant comment team was writing comments like, “It’s a necessary expense! It’s a necessary expense!”
It would be quicker to just cut taxes to make up for that. Tax revenue is just money sucked out of the people. It’s the people’s money to begin with, so isn’t it just a case of taking it from their pockets without any middlemen? Plus, taxes aren’t the source of revenue.
Let’s confiscate the savings of these damn single people who don’t marry or have kids and just live as they please as a singles tax and use that as a source of revenue. The declining birthrate is their fault, so don’t spoil them.
>>39 Taxes aren’t really the source of revenue lol Japan has been stagnant for 30 years already, right? It’s all about the middleman and the cum shot lol.
>>39 Well, I probably earn more than you, but I’d be happy to have children if you could match me with a beautiful woman or girl I’d decline, though, because childcare is too much work.
