"another" implies we actually ever got out of the last one.

Your question is improperly phrased... should be "do you wish the current recession to continue..."

Do you know what a recession means? Sorry if economic data doesn't fit your talking points...

technically defined,  a recession as two consecutive quarters of decline in GDP.

By this arbitrary standard, the US left the recession 3 years ago.

If you take a more realistic definition that actually reflects peoples lives, which is GDP per capita, the nation is still in recession as GDP growth has been less than population growth.

This is consistent with the $4300 per family DROP in median family income reported by BLS since Obama has become President.
