If that's recovery, I don't want to see what your economy would look like if it was in the dump. Your "recovery" is yet another bubble, with the printing press pretty much propping you up and the fact that you can, by holding the de facto international currency in your hands, essentially tax the world by forcing them to keep your inflation artificially low so they don't sit on worthless toilet paper (aka dollar reserves).
Seriously, if the US was any other country, their rating would have bombed by now due to an economy that can not support the amount of money being pumped out aimlessly.
Ok, not true, it ain't aimlessly. But aimed at the by some margin wrongest targets. Instead of trying to use that money to help your economy recover, you prop up failed banks and failing businesses that are deemed "too big to fail". Mostly because a government take over is anathema to your economical dogma, so you pump money into corporations which is not used to create jobs or spur the economy but is siphoned away by those that actually caused all this. And these people are still not held accountable for it, quite the opposite. They're pretty much assured that no matter how much they damage the economy and abuse it for their personal gains, we'll bail them out.
That's hard to trump. I'm not convinced that it can't be done worse, I'm actually pretty sure a Republican could come up with some ways to fuck this up even worse. But I hope we can agree on this being kinda far away from any sensible solution to the problem at hand.
