	For a Shaky Japanese Economy, The Premier Is a Hesitant Steward
		Yet Hashimoto has been hesitant about any huge tax cut or spending package that could give Japan a fiscal jolt to bring it back to life, because he fears such a package would be fiscally irresponsible as Japan prepares for the burden of caring for an aging population.
		Hashimoto has strongly backed the Finance Ministry's view that Japan's great economic challenge is the aging of its population, and that the imperative now is to cut deficits and raise taxes to prepare for retirement of the baby boomers.
		Although in theory Hashimoto is expected to serve another year and a half as Prime Minister, there are already whispers that he could be ousted this spring as a result of factional feuding within the Liberal Democratic Party.

	Japan Re-elects Ryutaro Hashimoto To Second Term as Prime Minister (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Ryutaro Hashimoto was elected to a second term as Japan's prime minister Thursday and picked a new Cabinet composed mainly of old-guard Liberal Democratic Party warhorses.
		Observers saw Hashimoto's strategy as trying to compensate for a weak political mandate with this double layer of experienced party loyalists, ministers he hopes will prove strong enough to escape capture by the entrenched and wily bureaucrats who tend to wield the real power in Japan.
		Hashimoto may have more leeway to pursue his conservative defense agenda now that he is not so tightly bound to a Socialist coalition partner.

	BBC News \| ASIA-PACIFIC \| Profile: Ryutaro Hashimoto
		Former Japanese Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto was once hailed as the saviour of the Liberal Democratic Party, but became the victim of an economic crisis which proved impossible to control.
		When he became party president in September 1995, Mr Hashimoto was regarded as a shrewd politician, steering the LDP back to political success after mass defections in 1993 split the party and triggered its first electoral defeat in 38 years.
		Mr Hashimoto attributes much of his interest in politics to his father, who was severely crippled by polio as a boy but overcame his handicap to serve as health and welfare minister, a post Hashimoto himself took on in 1978.

	JPRI Working Paper No. 36
		Hashimoto announced an administrative reform plan on May 10, 1996, and dubbed it the "Hashimoto Reform Vision." The basic framework for the reform effort was to reduce the number of ministries by restructuring the bureaucracy based on seven different functions.
		Hashimoto has publicly acknowledged the presence of bureaucrats in the secretariat but argues that their expertise is needed to investigate the issues and write the legislation, which is really an admission that the LDP does not possess the capability to do this independent of the ministries.
		Hashimoto has based his reform policy on a proposal that was largely drawn up by bureaucrats, and for the most part bureaucrats and former bureaucrats in the LDP dominate the current round of reform deliberations.
