(...Look at mutual fund inflows by americans and then tell me americans couldn't liquidate some holdings to pay debt...)

I suspect that the inflowers and the debtors are non-intersecting sets. As a wild guess, 50% of American families couldn't come up with the minimum for a Schwab account even if they were to liquidate their entire net worth.
