Talk:Recession of 2008

Rename article?

Can we rename this article to the recession of 2008-2009? This has become Obama's Recession. Brown25 00:56, 31 July 2009 (EDT)

Much as I dislike Obama, recessions are not historically named for individuals, and since Congress is equally duplicitous with BHO, and is the appropriator, it would not be accurate. --ṬK_/Admin^/Talk 02:25, 31 July 2009 (EDT)

Recessions and depressions are always named the year they began. The title "recession of the late 2000s" won't make sense next week when we are in 2010. RJJensen 18:00, 27 December 2009 (EST)

First paragraph under U.S. Politics is repeated.

As I was reading the article, I noticed that the first paragraph under the U.S. Politics section is repeated under the Optimism or Pessimism? section. I was wondering if there's any specific reason for that. --Dfrischknecht 22:10, 21 October 2009 (EDT)

thanks for spotting that. It's caused by a new computer virus called "cut-and-past-itis". RJJensen 02:58, 22 October 2009 (EDT)

"Origin" section does not include "cause"

There should be a cause section explaining how the Democrats started this whole thing with they're policies. FredM 17:36, 9 May 2011 (EDT)
