Eight years? Had to have begun eight years ago, as we all know what zealots the Clinton administration was about rooting all fraud.
Oops, you caught him.
Look at the data. We had a very sharp correction in 2000 - the Tech wreck. You can say that that was the correction to the Clintoon fraud.
Then in 2002 Greenspan and the financial institutions started blowing the next bubble in RE based on lies and fraud on all sides - regulators, banks, mortgage brokers, mortgage applicants, etc.
Go if you’d put aside your blinkers and look at truth, you’d see that this latest recession/depression was created entirely on Bush’s and the CONgressional Republicans’ watch.
You can’t solve any problems by burying your head further up your butt.
