That's the real question: all those tax cuts and the deregulation and big-money-favoring Bush did mean that the stock market and big corporations are making record profits *now,* but as ever, it's not really trickling down.
Except, interestingly, that some corporations are bringing jobs *back* onshore since there's no more to be made by parting out facilities and jobs, and they find the productivity of American workers and shorter shipping chains make a lot more sense, these days.
Still, I suspect they won't be paying as much as the jobs they outsourced to begin with.
