It's Official: Worst. Recovery. EVER Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/24/2013 09:22 -0500 Ben Bernanke Gross Domestic Product Michael Cembalest recovery Russell 2000 St Louis Fed If there was any debate whether the Fed's policies have helped the economy or just the market (and specifically the Bernanke-targeted Russell 2000), the following two charts will end any and all debate.
