The things you list are completely separate from what MOST rational Americans associate with the actual "crash."
Jobs are a lagging indicator, as you know. If you want to argue that the recovery is not nearly as good as it could be, you've got me - I couldn't agree more. But we are not in recession right now. We were in '08. And if I'm looking for a job, it IS better now that it was in '08 - I don't know how you could argue otherwise. Yes, it still sucks, but it is better than it was.
Ergo, the crash has not "worsened," by any measure, unless you want to take a random indicator like gas prices - which you should know have very little to do with American domestic policy.
