Yeah, if we leave out the fact that there have been 7 million new entrants to the labor force since then, leave out the fact that the reason the unemployment rate isn't pushing 13% is because millions have simply stopped looking for work, if we leave out that we now owe 110% of GDP as opposed to 77% in 2008, that foreclosures are actually rising at the moment (because they finally cleared all the legal hurdles with MERS, among other things), that less than 1/3rd those who could get a mortgage in 2008 can now qualify for one, that home prices are still 30% below 2008 values, that incomes are 9% below 2008 in inflation adjusted terms and a few hundred other items..... Yeah....other than that, I'd say we've never had it better in this country. Good call. Forward!
