Political Factoid
Most people have thought
the Great Resession started
in 2008.
However, looking at incomes
(rather than expenditures) the
recession started back in
the last three months of
2006.
The economy (e.g., the GDP) appeared to
continue, even as incomes dropped,
... as people spent their savings and
ran up record credit card debt.
