“We keep hearing that the economic problems won’t go away until the housing crisis is over. And if you believe this chart, put together by Mark Hanson of the Field Check Group [click through for more doom], that won’t be for a long time.

And with the Option ARM resets still on the horizon, the mess is only getting worse. Bring out the bulldozers.”
Now granted, California’s hurting more than the rest of the country, but if Cali’s hurting, we’re all hurting to some degree.
