The real problem is a Republican congress that won't raise taxes on the wealthy. There is a severe shortage of currency in day-to-day circulation with the top 400 households in the US now holding 60% of the nation's wealth. The only way to redistribute that money is to tax those people at an extremely high rate (such as France's planned 75% upper bracket tax rate) or wait for them to die and get them with the death tax.

It's looking like Obama and the Republican congress will both be re-elected, which means 4 more years of a stalemate and absolutely nothing getting done. If Romney pulls it off, you can bet on that 60% figure going up even more and adding years onto our recovery time.
