When people talk about the recession, what is accepted as fact about the cause(s) is not how I remember things. That is true for both regular people conversing, as well as what I see and hear in the news media, from both sides politically.

Now, I wonder if I am remembering things wrong, or has history been altered somehow... If the latter is true, then I wonder why? Is it a matter of if something is repeated enough it becomes true, or is there some kind of conspiracy going on, and if so, by whom?

I know I haven't stated how I remember things. I really want to hear from some of you folks first.
