When you're heading for a cliff, it's not "negativity" to recommend a course correction. It's just plain sense. Moony optimism may make you feel good, but it's just emotionalism.
That's the same reasoning behind "Moderates!" By never allowing themselves to become committed to anything concrete, they then can appear wiser and more anal-ytical than all the rest of us by playing it safe, right?
Yawn!!!

According to you, reducing the deficit means a course correction is needed.
I will not be taking any financial advice from you.
