With this in mind, it surprises me that they don't go for the massive tax hike option.
No government is going to significantly put taxes up if they stand a chance of being re-elected; there's not much that puts voters off more, I'm sure. However, if you know that you're not going to be re-elected, and that your legacy will be as the government that oversaw such a disastrous decline in economic stability, would you not want to try to do something about rectifying it?
