The GDP numbers were also revised going back to 2003, showing how much more dramatic the recession of 2008 really was. Also worth noting, is that after 2003, the economy slowly began to sag, with each subsequent peak lower than the previous, and each subsequent valley lower than the previous. In effect, Mark Zandi's 2008 testimony to Congress about stimulating the economy was correct:
- Permanent Tax Cuts
- Extend Alternative Minimum Tax Patch 0.48
- Make Bush Income Tax Cuts Permanent 0.29
- Make Dividend and Capital Gains Tax Cuts Permanent 0.37
- Cut Corporate Tax Rate 0.3
