Odd, I remember hearing the same thing in 2007. Then the Great Recession happened and those voices disappeared and completely forgot statements they had made. Interesting though that at that time, it was the Republicans saying the Democrats were trying to engineer a recession for political reasons, now the roles are reversed and the public cares more about the financial realities of their lives than the pronouncements from Washington that everything is going great.
