>>...but they are unwilling to do so...<< It takes some balls to go and sell 500 B of US treasuries into Dubja's or whoever's face. Plus sell treasuries means buying something. Another round of purchases in, say, Holywood (Sony & Matsushita send their regards)? USX, anybody? What about Amazon?

And if the Consumi-San decides to start to consume (which I strongly doubt, they'll rather die in peace, clutching their bags of deposit chits), then consume what? Two Xboxes (third comes for free, with a complimentary XP)? A Harley for everyone under 75? A Ford SUV? A box of post-its? There's so much US has to offer in terms of manufacturing...

So no wonder the so-called manana or StAugustin's syndrome:"Let's do it...tomorrow" kicks in.

Any opinions?
