I mean, should it really be necessary and the economy was truly on a trend toward a debilitating deflationary spiral, the issuing of bonds from our government to be bought by forgeign nations so that our own government could use the funds raised for an unprecedentedly large stimulus for corporate incentives, carefully considered corporate and personal tax credits, controlled public works spending, etc. etc. is, in a sense, the method that every nation approaching deflation of late has used to attempt to reverse the deflationary trend. And, of course, it hasn't really worked in any of them. Still, this must be the standard economic reasoning from the vast majority of the world as it is so often advocated and practiced of late. The reason why the US could, I think, pull it out is that it has Both the strength of the nation and its government as generally represented economically by the overall and long term proven strength of the dollar as well as possesses a comparatively vast amount of personal and corporate savings, despite all of the warnings we hear of middle America's negative savings rate... ever heard of the stock market? It's still worth something, for Pete's sake.
And, to all of those decrying balanced budgets, we would!, we would most certainly return to a balanced budget as soon as the threat of deflation was past. This is akin to the policies of, I think, both parties under the Clinton administration, the idea being that in good times we pay down the debt and in bad times we, like any corporation, take advantage of cheap rates, take on risk, and go for it rather than paralyze ourselves, acting overly concerned about debt, and as a result sink into the dreaded deflationary spiral.

Hmm. Or shall I reverse everything I've said and ask does the very act of raising the funds from abroad only increase the trap of the deflationary spiral?
