Man would I love to sit over dinner and debate this with you. We would need a 30 hour XNA layover for that.
Yes, it is better taken in a simplified way. But it's not nearly as good as it should be. Historically this is the worst recovery in the history of the US. The policies of the last 6 years have extended the downturn and slowed the recovery, much like FDR's did in the 30s. Just compare 1982 and the ensuing 6 years to 2008 and today.
The end of 2008 is a whole 'nuther debate. That might take a 48hr JAN.
