Cue all the people who desperately want to make this:

Construction — both residential and commercial — collapsed last year. And it isn’t expected to regain its strength for years. Typically after recessions end, construction booms and powers a new economic expansion.

The recession that began in December 2007, after the housing bubble burst, became the Great Recession once the financial crisis erupted in September 2008. Economic recoveries that follow a financial crisis are typically sluggish. Banks usually take years to resume lending normally.

…Obama’s fault.

tons and tons of people here just have no intellectual honesty about the financial crisis, it just sorta slides off them, they just sorta put that little truth off to the side as they wig out about the OMG STIMULUS
