you guys are missing a lot of what happened in 2007-2008
yeah the housing problems were a result of other issues. THe economy wasn't doing too bad. then oil started to climb and gas was $4.00/gallon. aluminum and steel and iron went thru the roof. I recall lots of discussions on this forum about scrapping farm equipment at $600/ton (give or take).
