At a press conference, Komeito's deputy leader Kitagawa pointed out that it would be difficult to raise the consumption tax rate in light of the economic situation. I showed the recognition that it is.
In it, North Korea's vice president said, "The party has also put together a plan to expand child-rearing support, but we can't do it all at once. First of all, I would like to discuss what to prioritize in child-rearing support."
On top of that, regarding the financial resources, he said, ``In the prolonged corona disaster and high prices, the economic environment is not such that we can raise the consumption tax rate, and even if we consider child-rearing measures for the time being, it will be difficult to raise it immediately and use it as a financial resource. We will discuss financial resources as a whole, including not only taxes but also social insurance."
On the other hand, Mr. Kitakata said that the Liberal Democratic Party will start discussing specific financial resources other than taxes at a special mission committee, saying, "It would be great if ideas that can reduce the burden on the people come out. I welcome it, but it's not that simple.The increase in defense spending will continue for some time, we need to secure stable financial resources, and we need to ask the public to pay for what is not enough."
