The monetary side could only do so much and the fiscal side didn’t pull its weight.
For better or worse, having a GOP president during COVID lead to more stimulus as the Dems will play along and just add some pro labor addendums.
Having Obama in the WH he mostly dealt with nonstop GOP attempts to block any fiscal aid. Not to mention the huge focus on Obamacare by Dems took the eye off the ball.
US came out of GFC better than most but we still could have gotten out of it 2x faster.
