>>The problem they have is with government and consumer DEBT so high they must show a strong willingness to put the US in a painful recession and I do not believe they will do this.<< Of course they won't do it. Will that get them the votes needed to get reelected? Now you know why the entire US political establishment needs to fake it: "The federal government keeps two sets of books. The set the government promotes to the public has a healthier bottom line.... The audited financial statement — prepared by the Treasury Department — reveals a federal government in far worse financial shape than official budget reports indicate, a USA TODAY analysis found. The government has run a deficit of $2.9 trillion since 1997, according to the audited number. The official deficit since then is just $729 billion. The difference is equal to an entire year's worth of federal spending." usatoday.com
