#143

“Hello, my name is Han Seok-jae, number 9.”

The topic of discussion today is ‘low birth rate.’

In fact, it is a very serious topic in South Korea, where the birth rate is at an extreme low of 0.5.

It’s not simply a matter of overall population decline.

Not only is the working-age population, which is linked to GDP, decreasing, but it is also directly linked to aging, job problems, and youth unemployment.

But seeing the way they were discussing it was quite a sight.

“I am Park Hyun-mi, candidate number 11, from the Yeonnam Peace Party. First of all, the term ‘low birth rate’ is wrong. Because of the word ‘san’ (産), doesn’t it seem like women don’t give birth? It should be changed to ‘low birth rate’, which means that children are not born.”

“Are you going to change every single word?”

“Yes. If the people are uncomfortable, then it is right to change it.”

“……So what’s the policy?”

“We need to support women. We need to eliminate the glass ceiling for women and increase the number of jobs that pay equal wages for men and women to overcome the low birth rate!”

“This is Choi Yeon-seok of the International New Party, symbol number 7. The low birth rate is a problem for all of us. However, there is only one way to solve this problem. It is unification with North Korea. It can go up to 70 million, 80 million, not 50 million.”

“How do you achieve unification?”

“South Korea is a strong country with a world-class economy and ranks 10th in military power! On the other hand, North Korea? It’s really bad. If there’s a war with our country, it’ll be completely destroyed in an instant!”

“So you’re saying you’re going to just barge in?”

“That’s right. The people of the Republic of Korea need to realize how great a country our country is!”

bang!

He spoke fiercely, pounding the table.

“If I become president! I will immediately drive tanks and fighter jets into North Korea and turn Pyongyang into a sea of ​​fire! Then unification will occur and the low birth rate problem will be solved!”

“I am Son Seok-hyung of the Great Korean Revolutionary Party, number 13 on the ballot. The Republic of Korea is rotten right now. The members of the National Assembly are busy blindly collecting taxes to fill their stomachs, and the local county governors and mayors are in chaos trying to somehow get the central party’s stamp of approval. They can be elected just by receiving the party nomination. They are not trying to look good to the people, but to the high-ranking officials. Does this make sense?”

“That’s a problem.”

“We need to overturn this whole thing! We need a strong government. The president needs to rule directly, as befits a centralized system!”

“How so?”

“In the past, Germany had a hard time paying war reparations. But everyone worked together to overcome it.”

“Are you talking about Nazism?”

“The Nazis are bad. But there is something to learn from them. Totalitarianism that unites the people! With that, we can solve all the conflicts between men and women, between the ages, and even between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law!”

So this guy is saying he wants to be a dictator?

‘This is really fucked up.’

I’m dizzy.

Since it wasn’t the main discussion, I didn’t think normal people would come.

I never thought a gathering of people from opposite extremes would happen.

My head was pounding, so I blurted out the words without realizing it.

“You’re just talking nonsense…….”

“What did you just say?”

The symbol number 13, Seok-hyung Son, who cries out for totalitarianism, glared at me.

“Then, what kind of plan does candidate Han Seok-jae have? Let’s hear it.”

Solutions to the low birth rate problem?

Of course I didn’t even think about it.

I was just planning to come and open my mouth a little and then leave.

Of course, I didn’t do any research.

But there were plenty of ways to use it.

The people here will have gathered a lot of information and studied a lot to defend against today’s attack and survive.

“Let me ask you, Candidate Son Seok-hyung. Do you know how much the budget for the low birth rate in South Korea is this year?”

He answered with a sly smile as if he had been waiting.

“The net budget is 56 trillion won, but if you add up all the budgets related to the low birth rate from the relevant ministries, it comes to 130.2 trillion won.”

Oh, that’s right, 130.2 trillion.

I asked because I didn’t know.

However, Seok-hyung Son is smiling happily as if he is proud of having studied for this kind of question.

“What is the projected number of births in South Korea this year?”

“They say there are about 250,000 people.”

Aha, thank you.

These two are enough.

“Since you know, I will explain it in detail. It is 130.2 trillion won, and only 250,000 people are born. In other words, even if we give 520 million won per person, there is still room for it.”

“What do you mean?”

“If I become president!”

Now it’s showtime.

“I will blow all other budgets and return all of this low birth rate budget to parents!”

He snorted in amazement.

“Are you doing business now? You’re giving 500 million won just to have a son or a daughter.”

“Think about it. Up until now, we have spent over 100 trillion won on the low birth rate budget. If you add up the amount spent over the past 10 years, it will be close to 200 trillion won. But has it been resolved now? No, it is getting worse. It is only filling the pockets of the ministers and the related public officials.”

“Then what are you going to do?”

“Do you know why people don’t have children these days? It’s because they don’t have money. Money.”

A spacious house, nice clothes for the child, an expensive stroller, a luxury vehicle.

These are all things that can be solved with money.

“But instead of doing something weird, you can just give them money. Even if you give birth to 500,000 children this year, you can give them 250 million won for each child you give birth to.”

There’s no way we’ll ever have 500,000 children anyway.

“I don’t need anything else. Just give me a lump sum in cash. That’s the fact.”

Come to think of it, I won’t be going to 500,000 anyway.

The children born this year would have been conceived last year.

If you look at the current situation, it will decrease by more than 250,000.

‘Then there’s money left over?’

While we’re on the subject, I made a promise.

“I’ll give you money when you have children. 100 million won for the first! 200 million won for the second! 400 million won for the third! 800 million won for the fourth! 1 billion won for the fifth! 1 billion won for the sixth!”

“……Are you crazy?”

“If you have a child, people will call you a patriot, right? This is what you have to do for patriots.”

“What kind of nonsense is that?”

“Why not? Since long ago, our country has had a tradition of neglecting the Korean War veterans and treating pro-Japanese collaborators who made money during the Japanese colonial period well. Isn’t that why not? It’s right to treat patriots well.”

“…….”

“Even if I do this, I’m not sure if it will work out or not.”

“Will it be possible to have a baby if I do that?”

“Of course I will.”

If you have four children, it’s 1.5 billion.

“There’s an apartment being built in Seoul. No, even if you have three children, it’s 700 million won. With a small loan, you can buy a 30-pyeong apartment in Seoul, which is what young people want these days.”

“……What about inflation?”

“Do I print money and give it away? Why does inflation occur? I am redistributing money that has already been collected as taxes.”

This is a fact among facts.

“We will eliminate all the ministries and civil servants who are doing useless things in the middle and give the money to the people.”

“Then what if I don’t work and just have children?”

“That’s actually good. If you have a sixth or seventh child, the mother will become rich, and the children will grow up in a good environment.”

Those children eventually enter our country’s working-age population.

That means they’re making money again.

“The value of sacred labor is…….”

“If you want, just have a baby.”

“Well said. What about those over 40? What about those who can’t have children anymore?”

“You can just look at your grandchildren.”

“What about the DINK family?”

“Those people should work for the country. If they don’t have children, shouldn’t they be helping the country through labor? If you don’t want to, then have children.

“No, when menopause comes at the age of forty…….”

“Oh, Mr. Candidate. Are you ignoring a forty-year-old woman right now?”

“……That’s not it!”

“I am disappointed. Please refrain from making such sexist remarks.”

[This Runcayvan guy is really good at hitting goals ㅋㅋㅋ]

-They say they’ll give you money if you have children, lol. 1 billion won per child starting from the fifth child. Isn’t it actually better to quit work and have children?

-The country is on the verge of extinction, lol

-I’m not originally a politician, so I don’t have any quirks lol

-A country that gives you 1 billion won a year if you quit your job and just have sex! Korea! Republic!

-But isn’t that not wrong?

– Are you giving me money if I have a child?

-ㄴ Anyway, the low birth rate budget is 130 trillion won, lol. Rather than filling the bellies of these weird business guys, it seems like it would be better to have children. – It feels refreshing.

-No, it’s a fact. You guys wouldn’t have children if I gave you 1 billion, right?

-My mom probably said she’d have a late baby too lol

-Hey son~ I’ll give you ten thousand won, so go buy some pork cutlet and come back~

[Han Seok-jae, this kid’s promises are so funny]

-My wife is expecting her first child next month. Will this apply retroactively?

-I don’t think that’ll work lol

-Teang~ Since you gave birth to me, my mom should give me money too~

-Ah, shit lol I’m putting off having kids for a year!

-100 million! 200 million! It’s so funny to just see them throw it away, lol

-Ah, I should run for president too haha ​​It would be fun haha

-I get angry when I see other candidates talking nonsense, but when I listen to Runcaban, this guy, I just get so happy that I laugh while watching him.

The content of my discussion was a hot topic in the community.

Most of the public did.

At first, I started watching the discussion because I was curious about the person named Runkeivan.

When I actually heard it, it was funny and refreshing, so I spread it here and there, and Han Seok-jae’s thoughts are gradually spreading.

[No, seriously, don’t you think that’s okay?]

-It would be more intuitive to just give cash instead of providing strange support.

-Cash is good, lol

-What if I give birth to a child and then abandon it?

-n Then I’ll take it back lol

-The country is not stupid.

-ㄴ Do you think Runcayvan would give you money just for registering your birth? There must be a solution.

-Yeah, that’s right. You could give 5,000 at first and then give 5,000 more once you make sure the child is growing well. Okay, then that doesn’t seem so bad, does it?

-I just laughed at first, but after thinking about it, I think it’s a good thing.

-I talked to my wife and had the vasectomy tied after having one child, but once this promise is fulfilled, I will immediately have it undone and have a third child. It’s 400 million won. How could I not have another child? ㅋㅋ-ㄴ Me too ㅋㅋ My annual salary is 40 million, but 400 million won for one child? I could take 10 years off from work, but I can’t stand it ㅋㅋ-ㄴ Even that’s 400 million won in cash before taxes ㅋㅋㅋ

“No, why does this work?”

It was just something I blurted out.

I wasn’t going to get elected anyway and I had no plan.

Is it any of my business whether you gave birth to a child or raised one?

130 trillion won.

They say it’s just a tax that was taken from my hard-earned money, and they’re just making ignorant populist promises as if they’re throwing away other people’s money.

“Well… I guess it’s fortunate that it became a topic of conversation.”

I thought about it that way and tried to move on.

But just one week after the debate began, a noticeable change occurred.

[21st Presidential Election Candidate Support Rating Survey]

Excluding the major political parties, he ranked first in votes among independent candidates.

“……What is this?”
