Well, it seems the IMF is giving the US a choice, to bring the   
    debt crisis under control, or face downgrading of US debt, with   
    attendant higher costs.   
      
    And what has roused the IMF to this? They see the extension of   
    tax cuts for the rich as unreasonable in the face of the   
    explosion of debt.   
      
    Hmmm... didn't we say something about this not too long ago?
