Extra budget with cash handouts passes
|
|
Political wrangling in the Diet over the controversial second budget for fiscal 2008 ended Jan. 27 when the ruling bloc's legislation passed. The ¥4.79 trillion extra budget includes Prime Minister Taro Aso's contentious ¥2 trillion cash handout program. The Aso government's next hurdle is to get bills related to the extra budget approved. Unless they are passed, the government can't begin the cash handout, which will include registered foreign residents. (The Japan Times)
