Home Sales Hit New Low; A Depression, Not a Recession

Existing home sales hit a 15 year low in July. Foreclosures are 30 times what they were before the crash in 2008.  Meanwhile, an economist says we are in a depression, not a recession.

No argument there.  Recessions don't last this long or go this deep.

The question is:  how will the Democrats spin this?  That's not hard to figure out.  They will say that George Bush ruined the economy and a vote for Republicans will be for more of the same.  This is the tack being taken by Jerry Brown against Meg Whitman for governor of California.
