You did notice that the blue line has a base at 79% and the red line has a base at 16%? And you do realize that if both were at zero, both lines would be essentially flat?

Try again.

We're six years beyond the recession. That should not be the case. It would not have been the case had the economy just been left alone

I realize that you don't have a very good grasp of economics. Or history. But you should know that the Great Bush Bellyflop was the result of a crisis in the financial system. Those take a long time to dig out of. Just ask the Japanese. They had a bellyflop that was similar, mainly commercial real estate instead of residential, but otherwise similar. It has been more than 20 years and they still haven't recovered. TGBBF was similar to an event that happened in Europe in the 1870s. We call that the Long Depression. Want to guess why? It took Great Britain more than 2 decades to dig itself out of that one. It so weakened the British Empire that WWI killed it off.

Considering the history of other financial crisis, we have recovered extremely well. His tinkering seems to have done the trick.
