Making Things Worse

Notice on the chart below the "infection point" -- the point at which the red line indicating the "current recession" goes from a shallow slope to a nose dive.

Want to guess when that happened?

I'm going to guess it was just after the government passed the TARP bank bailouts in late 2007..

No end in sight?

Since then, we've seen the Democrats in Washington busying themselves with passing the Obama Stimulus, the Obamacare Health Care CHANGE!!! and the Obama Cap-and-Tax job-killer bills.

Permanent depression. Is that really what the Democrats want? Because that's what they're working very, very hard on achieving.

Hat tips all around:

Update: Re-re-edited after confirming that the inflection point is in fact around the time of the TARP plan which was supposed to save us all from what eventually happened anyway.
