    My 25 year old son has talked about how many of his friends throughout school and college were devastated by the 2008 crash, and their families never fully recovered. We were one of those families. At the time, we lived in the county that had more foreclosures than anywhere else in the nation.

    And yet there has hardly been any discussion of the extensive human damage that was done. Profitable businesses got bailed out, but nothing for people whose houses and vehicles were taken, credit ratings destroyed, jobs lost, etc.
