１世帯３万円のインフレ手当　経済対策、消費減税は見送り―立民

　立憲民主党は１８日、１世帯３万円の「インフレ手当」などを柱とする緊急経済対策を発表した。総額は約７兆６０００億円。昨年の参院選公約で掲げた消費税減税や、政府・与党内で取り沙汰される所得税減税については、「即効性に欠ける」（政調幹部）などの理由で見送った。
　泉健太代表は記者会見で「物価は確実に上がっている。中・低所得層に手当を届けなければ、暮らしそのものに関わる」と述べた。
　緊急経済対策は、基本的な考え方として「『規模ありき』の財政出動はさらなる物価高騰を助長しかねない」と強調。「家計や事業者に直接届く支援」に絞り込む方針を示した。
　インフレ手当は、全世帯の６割に当たる約３０００万世帯が対象で、必要経費は約１兆円。エネルギー価格の高騰を踏まえた「省エネ社会」への転換を促すため、電気自動車や省エネ家電への買い替え支援などに約２兆１０００億円を計上した。（2023/10/18-16:44）

The main opposition Constitutional Democratic Party of Japan on Wednesday announced its emergency economic package, centered on an inflation allowance of 30,000 yen per eligible household.
   The total cost of the package is about 7.6 trillion yen.
   The CDP did not include in the package a consumption tax cut, which it pledged during the campaign for last year's House of Councillors election, or an income tax cut, which is being discussed within the government and the ruling parties. These measures "would not have an immediate effect," said a senior official of the CDP Policy Research Committee.
   "Prices are surely rising. If we fail to deliver an allowance to medium- and low-income earners, it will affect their lives," CDP President Kanta Izumi told a news conference.
   As a basic idea behind the emergency economic package, the party stressed that large-scale fiscal spending could fuel inflation. It aims to focus on direct aid to households and businesses.
