We also will not begin to have a true cleansing of all the excess debt without a spike up in long term rates first.

Why not?
When housing goes it is all over and I do not care at what interest rate it starts. If you presume that it will take a big spike in rates to kill housing, I believe you are mistaken. Housing starts and new home sales are already showing the way.
Housing dies and this whole economy dies. That is it in a nutshell. Tell me why it is mandatory for interest rates to spike to kill housing. I do not think you can. If you are waiting for the long end to get to 7% you will be waiting for something like forever. Not gonna happen IMO.
