Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Great Recession, one of the worst economic declines in US history, officially lasted from December 2007 to June 2009. The collapse of the housing market-fueled by low interest rates, easy credit, insufficient regulation, and toxic subprime mortgages-led to the economic crisis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Biggest Culprit: The Lenders Most of the blame is on the mortgage originators or the lenders. That’s because they were responsible for creating these problems. After all, the lenders were the ones who advanced loans to people with poor credit and a high risk of default.

Detailed explanation-3: -The 2008 financial crisis began with cheap credit and lax lending standards that fueled a housing bubble. When the bubble burst, the banks were left holding trillions of dollars of worthless investments in subprime mortgages. The Great Recession that followed cost many their jobs, their savings, and their homes.
