昨日のエントリー、「小沢一郎代表の「済州島発言」についての偏向報道」にはたくさんの読者のかたから貴重なコメントをいただきまして、ありがとうございました。国民の中にも報道をしっかりと見極める鋭い視点で接している方もいるということに勇気づけられました。

どの意見も今の日本の偏向報道を理解する上でとても重要なものなので、なるべく多くの方々に読んでいただきたく、この次のエントリーに転載させていただきたいと思います。

検察やマスゴミによる小沢バッシングの嵐の中で、麻生の支持率が微増したと言う。これだけ派手な小沢ダメージ作戦をしても微増のみというのには笑ってしまう。このように国民に総スカンをくっている麻生だが、国民の麻生叩きがしばらく止んでいる隙に、無理やり外交日程を入れて解散を先延ばししようとしている。多くの国民は、アホウが人気取りのために海外で売国的な約束をしてこないかを憂慮しているというのに。

有能な総理が外遊にお金を使うならまだわかるが、麻生のように無能総理が税金を７億円近くも使うのは税金の無駄遣い以外の何ものでもない。下の毎日の記事ではタイトルが「外遊費用計６億円」となっているが、四捨五入すれば７億だろうが。それも、日韓首脳会談後の３回の外遊は含まれていないという。こんなところにも毎日の自公政権へ媚を売る姿勢が唐突に現れている。

＜麻生首相＞外遊費用計６億円　０８年９月から１月の５回
（毎日新聞 - 03月10日 22:22）

政府は１０日の閣議で、麻生太郎首相が行った外国訪問の費用が、昨年９月の国連総会出席（米国）から今年１月の日韓首脳会談（韓国）までの計５回で、約６億５８００万円だったとする答弁書を決定した。喜納昌吉参院議員（民主）の質問主意書に答えた。

５回の外遊に同行した政府関係者は延べ３７０人で、１人当たり約１７８万円。

首相は日韓首脳会談後にも日米首脳会談（２月）など３回外国を訪問したが、その費用は「未精算」として明示していない。３回の外遊に同行した政府関係者は延べ１４１人だった。

０６年１０月に政府が閣議決定した答弁書によると、小泉純一郎元首相が退任間際の０６年６月から８月にかけて行ったカナダやアメリカ、サンクトペテルブルク・サミットなど４回の外遊の費用は計約８億１５００万円で、１回あたりの平均で約２億円だった。【塙和也】

ダボス会議、日露首脳会談、日米首脳会談など日韓首脳会談後の３回の外遊を含めれば、外遊総額は１０億円相当になるであろう。

麻生総理日程概略
外交関係
国連総会演説　　　　９月２５日～２７日（１泊３日）（ニューヨーク）
アジア欧州会議　　　１０月２３日～２５日（２泊３日）（中国）
Ｇ２０金融サミット　　１１月１３日～１６日（２泊４日）（ワシントンＤＣ）
ＡＰＥＣ首脳会談　　　１１月２０日～２５日（２泊５日）（ペルー）
日中韓サミット　　　　１２月１３日　　　　（福岡・大宰府）
日韓首脳会談　　　　１月１１日～１２日（１泊２日）（韓国）
ダボス会議　　　　　　１月３０日～１日（１泊３日）（スイス）
日露首脳会談　　　　　２月１８日　　　（サハリン）
日米首脳会談　　　　２月２３日～２５日（ワシントンＤＣ）

それにしても、トータルで５００人もの政府関係者を引き連れていったとのことだが、もし、総理が有能だったら、経済危機の中で少しでも税金の無駄遣いをなくすため、本当に必要な政府関係者のみを外遊に伴ったはずだ。５００人も引き連れて行って、１０億円もの税金を使っていったいどんな効果があったというのか。いまのところ、その効果のほどは全く報告されていない。

それどころか、これだけ税金を使って外遊をしまくっても、英国のフィナンシャル・タイムズでは、麻生の経済危機対策は全く評価されていないのである。そりゃそうだよね。百年に一度の経済危機だというのに、口先ばかりでやることといったら、民主党のマネやバラマキだけなんだから。海外旅行に行くたびに何百人もの政府関係者を連れて行けば、行った先でも、この不景気になんて税金の無駄遣いをしてるんだって思われるだけだし、その点から見ても、経済危機対策なんて全く考えてないっていうことになるよね。

金融・経済危機に取り組む世界の５０人-英紙フィナンシャル・タイムズ

【ロンドン＝木村正人】英紙フィナンシャル・タイムズは１１日付の特集記事で、「グローバリズムが初の試練を迎えている」として、金融・経済危機に取り組む世界の５０人をリストアップした。オバマ米大統領を筆頭に、中国の温家宝首相、欧州の首脳らが顔をそろえる中、日本人としては日銀の白川方明（まさあき）総裁だけが選ばれる寂しい結果となった。

４月にはロンドンで２０カ国・地域（Ｇ２０）の金融サミット（首脳会合）が開かれる予定。同紙は「危機を克服するためには、政治の指導力に加えて国際的な協力も必要だ」と指摘し、「明日への道を開く５０人」の横顔を紹介している。

その中で政治指導者としてオバマ大統領をトップに掲げたほか、２番目には温首相を挙げ、世界が中国の経済力などを必要としている実情を改めて印象づけた。続いてメルケル独首相、サルコジ仏大統領、ブラウン英首相、プーチン露首相が名前を連ねている。

中国からは温首相のほか、王岐山副首相▽中国人民銀行（中央銀行）の周小川総裁▽外貨準備２０００億ドル（約１９兆６０００億円）を運用する政府系ファンド、中国投資有限責任公司（ＣＩＣ）の楼継偉会長－の３人が入った。

金融危機対策として国際通貨基金（ＩＭＦ）に最大１０００億ドル（約９兆８０００億円）を拠出する日本からは、麻生太郎首相の支持率低迷や“酩酊（めいてい）会見”で辞任した中川昭一前財務相の件が響いたのか、政治家は選ばれなかった。

現在、積極的に金融危機に取り組んでいる世界の政治家、銀行、金融機関、投資会社、経済学者、メディアなどから５０人選ばれているが、政治家では１３人が選ばれ、白川日銀総裁は、中央銀行関係者として１０人選ばれたうちの１人として、日本人では唯一このリストに名前を連ねている。

そりゃもう、中川泥酔大臣の会見が響いているのは火を見るよりも明らかだろう。中川の一件で世界で２番目の経済大国と言われていた日本は、円が下がり始め、大きな致命傷を負った。この罪をつぐなうためには、議員辞職することしかない。それなのに、北海道１１区の対抗馬である小沢代表元秘書の石川知裕衆院議員を検察に事情聴取させ、ダメージを与えたのである。まったくひどい話だ。

Fifty who will frame a way forward
By Financial Times reporters, Financial Times, 10 Mar 2009

POLITICIANS

1: Barack Obama, 47 US president

On his economic rescue plans so far, reviews are mixed but much detail is still awaited. In the meantime, the president is pressing ahead with a radical domestic reform agenda encompassing healthcare, the environment and education. As promised, it has a strong whiff both of audacity and of hope.

2: Wen Jiabao, 66 Chinese prime minister

The man in charge of China's economy has a strong reputation overseas but is under fire at home from critics who say he put the brakes on too fast last year. A former geologist who rose through loyalty and attention to detail, he has demonstrated a populist touch – many know him as "Grandpa Wen".

3: Angela Merkel, 54 Chancellor of Germany

Among advocates of a regulatory and systemic rather than purely macroeconomic or reactive response, she has called for a "new global constitution" for financial markets. The Christian Democrat will run for a second term on September 27.

4: Nicolas Sarkozy, 54 President of France

Regards himself as de facto leader of Europe given Gordon Brown's domestic political and economic woes and Angela Merkel's cumbersome coalition. During France's European Union presidency he forged a semblance of co-ordination and unity, which has since dissipated. He champions state intervention over Anglo-Saxon capitalism.

5: Gordon Brown, 58 UK prime minister

Hailed as a potential global saviour by economist Paul Krugman after recapitalising Britain's banks, the Labour former chancellor of the exchequer believes he is ideally equipped to tackle the crisis. Mr Brown hosts the Group of 20 summit of industrial and developing nations in London on April 2.

6: Vladimir Putin, 56 Prime minister of Russia

After enjoying a booming economy as president, he has seen the world change since he stepped down to the premiership last year. He will have to hold together a government budget that is suffering from an oil price slide.

7: Tim Geithner, 47 US Treasury secretary

Chairman of the New York Federal Reserve when the meltdown hit last September, he now spearheads the rescue of America's financial system. His February announcement of rescue guidelines was perceived as miscued.

8: Lawrence Summers, 54 Director, National Economic Council

As Bill Clinton's last Treasury secretary and Barack Obama's top economic adviser, Larry Summers is arguably the most influential person in the administration. The former president of Harvard is less abrasive than before. But that is still a work in progress.

9: Hamad bin Jassem al-Thani, 50 Prime minister of Qatar; head of Qatar Investment Authority

Savvy, outspoken and a power broker in a gas-rich country that intends to spend its way out of the crisis and will probably succeed. The QIA, a sovereign wealth fund, will be bargain hunting as prices go down. Sheikh Hamad made waves by backing the creation of al-Jazeera, the popular Arabic channel.

10: Wang Qishan, 60 Vice-premier, China

Appointed last year, he has emerged as point man in the leadership on international financial issues. With a curriculum vitae that includes stints as mayor of Beijing and head of China Construction Bank, he is one of the few Chinese leaders at home in the diplomacy of the G20 summit. Famed for a blunt style.

11: Barney Frank, 68 Chairman, House of Representatives financial services committee

The congressman who will be one of the main architects helping to redesign US financial regulation wants to create a "systemic risk regulator", saying the Fed should take on that task. Mr Frank is also pushing to overhaul mortgage financing and prevent lender abuses.

12: Steven Chu, 61 US energy secretary

With only one advanced degree to his name, he jokes he was the "academic black sheep" in his family of Chinese-American scholars. Yet Mr Chu had enough brainpower to win the Nobel Prize for physics in 1997. He will head efforts to promote green energy.

13: Olivier Besancenot, 34 French party leader

The Trotskyist postman who heads the New Anticapitalist party, France's biggest extreme-left group, dreams of using unrest triggered by the recession to overturn the social and political order. Rated in polls as France's most effective opposition politician, he has fought two presidential elections, winning well over 1m votes in each.

CENTRAL BANKERS

14: Ben Bernanke, 55 Chairman, US Federal Reserve

A scholar of the Great Depression and the measures that central banks can use at times of great crisis, he has had ample opportunity to put his theories into effect, using an expanding range of tools to try to arrest the slide.

15: Jean-Claude Trichet, 66 President, European Central Bank

The French bureaucrat, who has been tackling economic crises for more than two decades, believes politicians and central bankers must do their utmost to shore up economic confidence. He has helped rally governments behind rescue plans and regulatory reform.

16: Zhou Xiaochuan, 61 Governor, People's Bank of China

China's central bank governor since 2002 is considered a principal supporter of faster market reforms. Fluent in English, he can hold his own among economists. He is in charge of nearly $2,000bn in foreign exchange reserves.

17: Mervyn King, 60 Governor, Bank of England

Mr King's policymaking at the UK central bank has come under fire for emphasising economics over financial stability. But beyond doubt are his intellectual prowess and grasp of global economic links.

18: Masaaki Shirakawa, 59 Governor, Bank of Japan

Although monetary steward of the world's second largest economy, his cautious style and modest policy ambitions make clear he will not be a force for dramatic change. A BoJ veteran who calls central banking his hobby as well as his profession.

19: Mario Draghi, 61 Chairman, Financial Stability Forum and governor, Bank of Italy

US-educated economist, former Goldman Sachs executive and respected transatlanticist. He is a proponent of greater regulation, oversight and transparency at the FSF, an offshoot of the Group of Seven industrial countries that is expected to take on a greater role after the G20 summit.

20: Mark Carney, 43 Governor, Bank of Canada

The youthful Mr Carney continues the tradition of impressive Canadian governors. With a doctorate in economics, 13 years at Goldman and six as an official attending international meetings, he is well placed to understand the pressures of both banking and regulating.

21: Miguel Ordóñez, 63 Governor, Bank of Spain

As top Spanish central banker, Miguel Angel Fernández Ordóñez maintained a "contra-cyclical" provisioning system for banks, now seen as a model for the world. The Bank of Spain also rejected the off-balance-sheet units that helped to wreck banks' profits elsewhere.

22: William Dudley, 56 President, Federal Reserve Bank of New York

After a career that combined central banking with practical experience, Mr Dudley was named in January to head the arm of the US central banking system that is closest to the markets. Trained as an economist, he began his career at the Fed but spent most of his professional life at Goldman Sachs.

23: Jacques de Larosière, 79 Honorary governor, Banque de France

Managing director of the IMF from 1978 to 1987, when he oversaw policy on the Latin American debt crisis and the Plaza accord on the dollar. He was then governor of the Banque de France and president of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development. A Commission group he chaired called last month for powerful EU regulators in banking, securities and insurance.

REGULATORS

24: Adair Turner, 53 Chairman, Financial Services Authority

Lord Turner of Ecchinswell started at the UK regulator the week after the collapse of Lehman Brothers. But in his first speech in January, the former McKinsey consultant offered one of the most comprehensive assessments of the origins of the crisis. This approach is familiar from his work in tackling problems from pensions to climate change. This month he is to present a report that will form the basis for reforms of UK financial regulation.

25: Sheila Bair, 54 Chairman, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

Oversees an agency that has seen its powers vastly expanded under plans to stand behind the banking system. As the list of "problem" banks grows further failures will put pressure on the FDIC's deposit insurance fund.

26: Mary Schapiro, 53 Chairman, Securities and Exchange Commission

Having worked in regulation for more than 20 years, she has both a consummate résumé and a tough skin. But the SEC is under fire over the crisis and Bernard Madoff's alleged $50bn fraud. She has vowed to help restore investor confidence and toughen enforcement.

HEADS OF INSTITUTIONS

27: Jaime Caruana, 56 General manager, Bank for International Settlements

Spain's former central bank governor takes over the hot seat at the central bankers' bank next month. Having chaired the Basel II negotiations on bank capital, he is charged with helping find an alternative less prone to amplifying the economic cycle.

28: Dominique Strauss-Kahn, 59 Managing director, International Monetary Fund

A wily politician as well as a PhD economist. Like his counterpart at the World Bank, he has concentrated on trying to scale the institution up in size to address the crisis. He has also tried to finesse controversy over China's currency policy by keeping the issue out of the bank's executive board.

29: Robert Zoellick, 55 President, World Bank

After a career in public service with the odd stint in the private sector, he has sought to expand the bank's capacity to lend in the face of the crisis.

30: Pascal Lamy, 61 Director-general, World Trade Organisation

Long-distance running has prepared Mr Lamy well for presiding over the marathon Doha round of trade talks. But the former EU commissioner has little executive power: he can consult, cajole and exhort rather than impose a deal.

INVESTORS

31: Lou Jiwei, 58 Chairman, China Investment Corp

The head of China's fledgling sovereign wealth fund is regarded as a crucial member of the "market economy clique" of officials that includes Zhou Xiaochuan, central bank governor. CIC's disastrous investments in Blackstone and Morgan Stanley have made him the target of criticism.

32: George Soros, 78 Founder of Soros Fund Management and Open Society Foundation

For the hedge fund manager and philanthropist, 2008 was a banner year – his fund defied a sinking market to post a return of nearly 10 per cent. The first Wall Street heavyweight to support Barack Obama, he has long predicted a crisis of global capitalism and finds himself in tune with the zeitgeist.

33: Warren Buffett, 78 Chairman, Berkshire Hathaway

The world's most famous investor; still probably its richest man. A proponent of value investing, he believes in selling when others are greedy and buying when they are fearful. But after a call to buy stocks in late 2008, it turned out the sell-off had further to go.

34: Laurence Fink, 56 Chief executive, BlackRock

BlackRock has probably done more to clean up the mess than any other firm – for example, advising the Fed as it unwinds AIG's credit default swaps. A mortgage-backed securities pioneer, Larry Fink is seen as one of few Wall Street leaders not to be discredited.

ECONOMISTS

35: Robert Shiller, 62 Professor of economics, Yale University

At the forefront of behavioural economics – a field that challenges the assumption that people, and particularly financial markets, are generally driven by rational behaviour. He wants ordinary people to have more rather than less exposure to derivatives, but as insurance against the nasty things in life.

36: Montek Singh Ahluwalia, 65 Deputy chairman, Indian Planning Commission

Described by some as the finest finance minister India never had, Mr Ahluwalia is associated with the reforms that helped make the country a promising emerging market. Over the past months, he has crafted India's gradual stimulus response to the crisis.

37: Paul Volcker, 81 Chairman, Economic Recovery Advisory Board

Fed chairman in 1979-87, he is remembered mostly for monetary medicine to bring inflation under control, A Democrat, he warned early and powerfully about subprime mortgages.

38: Paul Krugman, 56 Professor, Princeton University; columnist, The New York Times

Almost certainly the world's most famous economist, he parlayed a stellar academic background into a career as columnist, blogger and eviscerator of ideologically bound conservatism. He has carved out a niche as the Democrats' liberal conscience.

39: Nouriel Roubini, 49 Chairman, RGE Monitor

Known as Dr Doom for being persistently the most gloomy, and most accurate, predictor of the financial crisis and its link to the wider economy, Prof Roubini is now predicting a "near-Depression" unless radical action is taken. An adviser to Tim Geithner in the Treasury of the 1990s.

40: Leszek Balcerowicz, 62 Professor of economics, Warsaw School of Economics

Architect of Poland's economic transition, twice deputy prime minister and finance minister, then central bank governor. A believer in free markets, he is better known for the exposition of his ideas than building consensus.

BANKERS

41: Lloyd Blankfein, 54 Chief executive, Goldman Sachs

Steered his investment bank away from much of the 2008 destruction visited on Wall Street: Goldman was profitable for the year. In the harsh new environment, his task will be to find new growth areas without straying far from the firm's traditional roots.

42: Jamie Dimon, 52 Chairman, JPMorgan Chase

From Citigroup reject to acclaimed "King of Wall Street", Mr Dimon, who turns 53 on Friday, has been through the Street's ups and downs but so far the crisis has been kind. JPMorgan was able to buy rivals Bear Stearns and Washington Mutual on the cheap.

43: Stephen Green, 60 Chairman, HSBC

At HSBC since 1982, he has voiced strong views about the need for reform of banking. A lay preacher and author of a book about reconciling religion with free markets, he has criticised the industry's excesses during the boom.

44: Michel Pébereau, 67 Chairman, BNP Paribas

The long-serving chairman of France's largest lender has worked behind the scenes as an adviser to Christine Lagarde, finance minister. Heading BNP since shortly before it was privatised in 1993 gives him an insight into the role the state should play.

INDUSTRIALISTS

45: Carlos Ghosn, 55 Chief executive, Nissan and Renault

Long seen as an exemplar of cross-border co-operation in the car business and now a chief spokesman, holding the presidency of the European Automobile Manufacturers' Association.

46: Indra Nooyi, 53 Chief executive, PepsiCo

An advocate of globalisation who argues that it needs to be underpinned by cultural and political sensitivity and ethical values. She warned at Davos this year that "capitalism leads to greed" and needs effective regulation.

47: Eric Schmidt, 53 Chief executive, Google

The veteran computer scientist is a key link in the Obama administration's ties with Silicon Valley. His technocratic style mirrors the technological bent of the administration. He acted as an adviser to the Obama transition team.

MEDIA/ACADEMIA

48: Arianna Huffington, 58 Editor-in-chief, The Huffington Post

The former biographer has recreated the art of the Washington salon hostess for the digital age. HuffingtonPost.com, unlike many competitors, has managed to hold its audience since the election.

49: Rush Limbaugh, 58 Host, the Rush Limbaugh Show

"You can't just listen to Rush Limbaugh and get things done," Barack Obama told Republicans during negotiations on the stimulus. More than 20m radio listeners appear to disagree, as they lap up the talk show host's rhetoric against liberalism.

50: Kishore Mahbubani, 60 Dean, Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy

Though no outright proponent of superior "Asian values", he says the west needs to cede ground in institutions such as the World Bank and IMF for Asia to play a more constructive role.
