I don't think there's any question that ANY time in the last 30 years was better than the last 4 years economically.
The only real question to me is: Why aren't the Senators and House Members who actually passed the legislation in the late 1990's that deregulated banks and mortgages that led to the housing collapse that is the REAL reason we had an economic meltdown not being held accountable?
Instead it's just a bunch of smoke and mirrors (by the same lifetime politicians) talking about taxing the rich. Taxes had nothing to do with the economy collapsing. It was 100% the housing market collapsing which then brought the banks down which then destroyed the economy which then led to massive unemployment which then drove up our debt because of a smaller tax base.
Everything else is just deception on the part of the Federal Govt. to cover their own ass.
