2008 seems plausible as a 4T start for the same reasons 911 seemed plausible until 2008 displaced it as a bigger event more pregnant with possibility. Nothing on the scale of 2008 has happened since 2008, yet. But we haven't had a recession since 2008. We haven't seem what the post-2008 economy does when faced with a cyclical downturn. If we get another financial crisis or other big debacle then 2008 will no longer be seen as the special thing it appears to be now.
