Japan parties seek up to 14.5 trln yen cost cuts

How did they make this debt? The bureaucrats are priviledged and heavily bribed here in Japan. The article should add this point -- it's like the challange against the monarchy. Now it's 827 trillion yen.

First to last of all, the parties 'can not' resign bureaucrats. They keep their postitions as long as their inner rules allow them to. Their main job is exactly to create such positions. When they quit, they move to another organization -- such as the head of newly created social wellfare organization. There are indeed 26,000 of such organizations. Their retirement plans are extravagant -- some tens of millions of yen each.

The law is created years ago, from their having such positions at least in private sectors for two years. Then what happened is this -- after retirement, they move from one organization from another for two years. They receive the pension plans from each organization. When the period is over, the amount goes up to hundreds of millions of yen. Our tax money is spent on those companies and organizations where the bureaucrats can get their positions in.

The situation is not comparable to anywhere, since all of this is because our negligence over political matters because of this dogma here -- 'the people won't or shouldn't complain when the government is doing right'. It's no secret that they receive pension plans as well as how they spend our tax money. Why do they need such tax money, for having cars, houses, central government owned pension plans and medical insurance? It's a known fact ever for decades. Even then, the mere lack of the people's power and the natural distrust toward democracy supressed the outcries -- we don't need their public services. They are not meant to be the services for us.
