To put it all in perspective, the Iraq War, combined with tax cuts, put us in a vertical nosedive. Without the bailout, we would have gone into a Great Depression. Period. While the numbers do not exactly line up, the economy is light years better than it was in 2008. While it may not be on the rise as quickly as some would hope, we did pull out of a nosedive destined for death. Relativity yo!
