A most irrelevant question.
High inflation is not a financial crisis, it is simply a rise in prices. The Volcker Fed induced a recession by raising short term interest rates to the point where long term expectations edged downward while the Reagan administration applied the proper policy to help alleviate the economic reaction to Fed policy. Lowering of taxes has a dis-inflationary effect, as it supports a reduction in total costs. Combined with a massive spike in federal expenditures (inflation adjusted federal expenditures) depicted below, the U.S. economy overcame the downturn by employing various Keynesian policies.
Yet during this time, total net worth (adjusted for inflation) never declined by any meaningful level, where as in 2009, a most severe financial crisis occurred.
TARP was a pure capital injection as a means of mitigating insolvency fears among international depositors who hold trillions of dollars in U.S. banks and money markets. It just so happened to have better results than a resolution trust style method where a financial entity would be created under the control of the U.S. Treasury, and would take on the most grotesque debts, thereby providing a cash injection.
Now you are being just plain ignorant!
The annual rate of change of debt per capita is a forward indicator of economic growth. Your obsession with elementary analysis of lagging indicators has gotten the best of you yet again. Current trends show the numbers are actually improving across the board! Employment is up, while the number of unemployed and discouraged workers has persistently declined.
Do you expect economic growth to increase while government revenue (which is explicitly tied to economic growth) holds constant? :lol: Only in your wildest partisan fantasy!
