You are hopelessly wrong. Even the amount of smash we got out of just Lehman going down, is what pushed unemployment to 10% and capacity use below 60%, and destroyed $15 trillion in total wealth.

Active monetary policy since then has repaired between a third and half the damage, but it took 18 months.

No party or ideology that thinks about finance or economics what you think about them, will ever have responsible power in this country, and doesn't deserve any.

I agree. I'm surprised it only took 18 months to recover.
