iPresident: Part 1

Japanese people, as part of my campaign for President I wish to share with you a series on the policies I want to implement. In the run up to election day, I hope that we can all take a hard look at the current state of Japan and what we can all do to make this country great. In the respect, let me begin by focusing on the economy.
Currently Japan suffers from low wages, overproduction of grain, and a lack of consumption. One of the first steps I will make is to lower the exchange rate, incrementally over the next 5 weeks from .035 to .030. It is a fact of life that Japan is resource deficient. It is not something that is likely to change until next year. Lowering the exchange rate will help make our exports more competitive abroad. Japan already is approaching the lowest priced guns in the world, and would see a huge boom were that to happen. Lowering the exchange rate will lower the cost of skill 0 labor and the new citizen fee, which will help us manage a large baby boom of RL Japanese that some are planning.
The problem of low wages is something that affects people of all skill levels. My economic advisers have told me that, one way to raise the wage floor is to establish state owned grain and food companies. These companies would employ people at wages equal to the average wage for a skill level in the world for their type of production. This would create a new wage for for at least 20 people and would spur other business owners to raise wages to compete. Also, by paying wages and selling goods pegged to the international average value we would buffer our internal grain economy from severe shocks as we have recently seen.
Finally, I would like to explore the idea for giving Japanese business either loans or grants to upgrade quality level. If a company sees that it can be more productive and profitable by doing so then I believe the government may want to provide some aid for enlarging Japanese production. This aid would be open to all companies owned by Japanese citizens, and based in Japan, subject to review by the Ministry of Finance.
Thank you all for your time, and feel free to debate these ideas here or on the forums at www.nipponblog.net/forums

What is your policy on appointing Government ministers? Do you plan to appoint elected Members of Congress or just close friends?
And will you appoint deputies in case a Minister is unavailable for whatever reason?
It's part 1 dude, slow down
Your ideas interest me, and I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. Babe.
I have recently started up a grain company. There is indeed too much competition in this area, but no real other opportunity to produce raw resources. Yes, upgrading quality would be one solution, however, I believe that getting import permits would be a less costly and more effective one.
However, I like your ideas, and understanding that there is a problem in that area. I am starting to see a real candidate for presidency.
Can someone at least ban no1kevlin ... ?
Dokomo, you got my voice.
vote*, sorry
Thank you for the suggestion Kyuutai.
What is your position about Theocrati Nation of South Korea, Sol wargame, rw in FRoSEA and Sol Alliance?
Why? Do you know an army of multis who might vote for him? Maybe in a neighboring country?
Yes i know a large amount of armies of multies.
As said before, wait for the article on Asian relations and perhaps I will be able to enlighten people.
Καταραμένε !!
I don't get why theos troll everything. I bet they'd troll a Brazilian article saying the sky is blue.
Actually, I made a mistake when proposing supporting export and saying it would be less costly, export permits cost 20 gold as well, like quality upgrades...
However, they could really help get us excess grain from our markets.
I am not sure, but maybe government-sponsored ads in foreign countries promoting purchase of cheap rice in Japan could help the situation as well - if that is possible.
Vote Doko!
