The following is from an article by Professor Emeritus Nobuyuki Kaji of Osaka University in today's Sankei Shimbun titled 'Is it OK to hang on to the government?'
It's been more than a month since we were told to refrain from going out for non-essential activities.
GW has passed.
The older man, who guarded the lawfully, stayed at home all his days. 
In proportion to this, I saw and heard many editorials, opinions, and impressions on TV, newspapers, and magazines every day and night, and felt that there were three things in common. 
The first point is that all the griping and complaining are targeted only by the Abe administration. 
Whenever we have a feeling of dissatisfaction, we always try to resolve it by creating an object of attack that others will agree with.
It is typical of this. 
Point 2.
So, there's only one thing that shows how to resolve that frustration.
In other words, what we want anyway is an aid, support, and a budget.
In other words, it is 'money, money.' 
However, common sense dictates that one should use one's own reserves when necessary.
Of course, I've lived a life free of luxury and extravagance. 
However, the media is shameful.
They're making a big deal about the loss of customers in the amusement industry. 
Every day they are merely asking for government assistance without questioning such issues.
There is no shame in it. 
It is nothing less than the 'hanging on to the government' nature of the Japanese people at the bottom of their hearts.
Where has the 'self-reliance and individualism' that they advocate every day disappeared? 
The government is the government, and they are determined to give out aid money.
The supplementary budget is a whopping 26 trillion yen.
Where can such a large sum of money be afforded? 
Point 3. The supplementary budget unabashedly lists 'deficit government bonds' as the source of funding. 
As an old-timer like the Mere Old Man, a small-minded former public servant and a retired teacher who does not tolerate evil, I don't have the guts to make a budget with the word 'deficit' on it, i.e., the income is borrowed. 
However, the press does not blame the deficit bond.
They just muttered about the growing deficit as if it was something else. 
You're OK with that.
It is precisely in this area that we should unite the knowledge of the public and make constructive proposals that will leave no lasting damage to the future of Japan.
Those who speak in the media should not end up in emotional denial. 
In this age of gender equality, it may be hard to say, but I would like to say, 'Boys, when you speak out publicly, express your opinions constructively and creatively.' 
So, in this column of April 5th, the Mere Old Man proposed a creative way of creating a budget of trillions of dollars that the government would have to prepare for the coronal catastrophe. 
Of course, that proposal is not a deficit budget.
So after the Corona issue, it would be the strongest and safest way to eliminate the current deficit bond. 
Perhaps the people around the Prime Minister will oppose that new proposal of the Mere Old Man by saying one thing or another and quibble with what the layman says. 
But if you want to build distinguished services in a crisis, you don't have to listen to the surrounding quibble noise.
Maybe more or less forcefully, but without resorting to vulgar crowd meetings.
I sincerely hope that the Prime Minister will make a bold and robust decision.      
Zhan Guo Ce, Zhao policy volume one, says that those who perform distinguished services do not conspire with others.   
Those who perform distinguished services do not conspire with others; A person who wants to accomplish a big project does not listen to the public's opinion but does it by his own judgment.
