We hear the word "Reformation" or "Renovation" everyday, but it is hard to understand how or why we need it. Politicians, especially government members, are not specifying the vision for ”Reformation” though they just say that "Privatization" is the best way to reform the systems.

Apparently many of the Japanese people believe that”Reformation" is good for the country. But I wonder if everyone knows what the problems are and what the target of the reformation is. The government is saying that reformation is necessary for establishing "Small Government", but on the other they say that we need to be a regular member of UN Security Council and also send troops to the courtiers in dispute. Do we really need to cut the expense for social welfare and public services while we send troops and cover the military expense for U.S. government? Is it fair for the government to give up public services and make weaker people suffer from poor services? Is it fair that public services are privatized and done in accordance with profit and loss theory? We have a lot more questions, but no answers about those. We just hear "Reformation is important and it is accomplished by privatization.


Wait, oh wait! Wait a minute Mr. Prime Minister! Wait Mr. Prime Minister!

You've got to show your vision if any, but don't throw everything to the bureaucrats, scholars, and leaders of big companies who might be the main cause of the problems.
You say we need to suffer, but do we have the future? Please show us your vision. That's what we want. Please show us your vision and promise our future is protected and bright.

People! We need to think about all the problems by ourselves and vote for the coming general election. Otherwise our future would be hopeless.
