Is raising tax something we need now??

Sinzo Abe officially announced that higher sales tax will be carried out from next April. I wonder this is really a good decision for Japanese economy and citizens.

The prime minister claimed that with implementing the policy the economy will be accelerated for many reasons. First of all, it might save our huge debut by collecting money from the public as sales tax. It may seem true, but isn’t it too simple? I’m pretty sure that it makes people less active so that the total consumption will decrease dramatically. that’s not what they want, for sure.

Even though he mentioned something about some economy plans for the unexpected outcome, not only I but others think that why they go so much trouble in the first place.

For more, I throw doubt on the issue of financial deficit. It's not my field to talk about, so I won't go farther. But is it a real problem here?? I've read some articles that say it is pretty normal to be the red in capital society. Look at the U.S., they even have a huge debut as well. As far as I understand, as long as the nation has a way of earning money, there is no problem of having financial deficit. that's how it works in the capitalized society.

Anyway, we'll see what's going to happen from now on.
