I guess it will be up to the spinmeisters (as usual). I don't think economy will recover for 5 or more years. So then it will be a game of statistics:
If you started with $100, and it is now down to $60, you've had a 40% drop.
If in the next two years your nest egg goes up to $72... well then you can be sure someone will take credit that it has gone up 20% in the past two years (neglecting the fact you are still down 28% overall).
And as for unemployment, what does "significantly down" mean?
And as long as we are still down overall, I better not hear any gloating!
