“Providing cash to people who are hindering their lives due to a decrease in income”
Regarding economic measures against the spread of the new coronavirus infection, the LDP has drafted a proposal to the government, the scale will be larger than at the time of the Lehman Shock, and it does not include specific amounts for cash payments, , And demanding payments to those whose income has declined and is affecting their lives.
Immediately after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the government decided on economic measures in April 2009, where the government's fiscal expenditure was more than 15 trillion yen and the business scale was more than 56 trillion yen. The government is calling for a 20 trillion yen budget expenditure and a 60 trillion yen business scale.
It states that a subsidy system with a total value of ¥ 1 trillion should be created for small and medium-sized businesses, small businesses, and freelancers who have lost sales, with no need for refunds. .
In addition, we are requesting that we increase the budget for the new year's coronavirus by adding 500 billion yen to the budget for the new fiscal year, or create a new budget dedicated to the measures.
On the other hand, although we do not include specific amounts for cash payments, we say that income should be reduced and people who have difficulty in living should be paid according to the size of the household.
The Liberal Democratic Party is working to gather opinions within the party, and President Kishida will submit a proposal to Prime Minister Abe on March 31, and the government plans to finalize economic measures next week.
