There's a *huge* difference between "recovery" and "boom".

And frankly. you don't *want* a boom. That's when the economy is
expanding very fast. Booms are almost always followed by "busts"
because the growth wasn't sustainable (or, all too often, it was
effectively a ppyramid scheeme where early adopters made money but
later adopters lost big).

You want *steady* growth of the economy. Not rapid growth. at least
not overly rapid.
