What years does the Obama Years remind you of?

Well its a depression, so none of those others.

Recession... I wouldn't classify it as a depression.

It isn't quite as severe as the famous one with capital 'D', but it is very like a debt-deflation depression, which is completely different from the almost unbelievably mild in-the-Keynesian-context recessions we got used to for 60+ years.

Reminds me of the Hoover years.

I think the theme song of the administration should be Glenn Miller's "Those were the days".

Well, the issue is confused by the fact that we have no Left in american politics to turn to to cure the Right-caused depression - we did then apparently, after a fashion.
