Wake me up if we get past 8% - then I'll be worried, otherwise been there, done that.
Every time there's a downturn of any sort, the doomsayers come out, thinking it's the end of the world. I well remember the rhetoric Bill Clinton used when he was first elected, something to the effect that we were in "the worst economy since the Great Depression". The early 1990s turned out to be a very mild, fairly shortlived recession. Now we're hearing the same kind of rhetoric all over again. At some point, you learn to tune out the boy who keeps crying wolf.

And yet, in my informal poll of patients who are old enough to remember the great depression and together enough to carry a conversation, 100% still answer "yes" to whether we're heading back into a similar time.
