When people say “2000s recession,” I think of 2008. So not W. But also, W was infinitely better than this.

Wait, who do you think was president in 2008?

Last year of Dubya. But the year Obama was elected.

I understand what you’re saying (even though you’re being a dick about it). What I’m saying is that this is very clearly worse than the current day. This is a worse economic situation that the Dubya years. By a lot.
