No, I believe it is YOU that have the short memory. The stock market tanked right after 9/11 but was back up again within a year. I know because my 401K dropped 50% and then totally recovered. Unemployment was so low that economists considered it FULL EMPLOYMENT. That was until the last two years where he had a Democrat controlled congress. Then it went up a bit, but not a whole lot. Maybe one or two points. SO yes, this administration has not done so well with the recovery, and I think that we owe the credit of any recovery solely to business, in spite of strict restrictions and taxing from this administration.
