Serious question: what tools do they have left to try and shore things up? They've reduced interest rates to 0. They've injected 1.5T of liquidity. Mitt Romney today just announced they're giving $1000 of helicopter money to every American.

If all of this doesn't work, whats left?

Currency devaluation. That only goes so far though. You can't really print your way out of this easily.
