Recovery is on the way sooner than expected!!

On the evening that we foreign fools at my part-time job were informed (as I had expected) that we would be losing our annual guaranteed contracts and be converted to hourly contract workers if we chose to stay and if they can find any new business using the same old ideas and tactics, it is nice to know that the DPJ victory will boost consumer optimism. On 50% less salary, it will mine.

The opposition DPJ has been running on a platform to support households by giving cash to child-rearing families and eliminating highway tolls...

“With a strong DPJ victory, households will expect a boost in income,” said Adachi, a senior economist at JPMorgan Chase & Co. in Tokyo. “That expectation may increase confidence in the economy.” Bloomberg

All I gotta do to get that income boost is to have a kid and buy a car.
