How would you answer this question - Repercussions

An interviewer asked me to go through the repercussions of the 2008 crisis...how would you answer?

I said it effed up the banks balance sheets, and that retirement and pension plans got blown to bits so in response discretionary spending plummeted

That's it though. i tried to walk through my thinking as thorough as possible, but I have to say I didn't know exactly what he was hoping for

This was my third interview for Wells Fargo. The current analysts said this guy tries to stump everyone though
