Richardson, you clearly have no clue what you are saying.
It is established by previous timeline work that 2008 happened, but the recession it caused was smoothed out to a great degree by advances provided by 'wavetech, exports to the Fen, and other economic side-effects of the butterfly already in the air. By 2012 the economy is already recovering and 2016 sees a genuinely centrist Democrat elected who has no need to try to gut the economy in order to "save" it.
Repeat after Mal: "FENSPACE IS NOT A DYSTOPIA."
Bob, please lock this thread.
