Redefining the meaning regardless of what economists think.
“Depends on what the definition of the word “is” is.
These are the same smart people that proclaimed “this inflation is transitory”.

A recession is “inconceivable”.
Wait, what? You cannot just redefine something away? That is righty SOP around here!
Seriously though, two quarters of negative growth is a recession, no matter how hard they try to wish otherwise.

Stupid political spin doctoring. I get why calling it a recession right before mid terms is far from ideal but Biden should own it and just call it a recession.
If Biden came put and said we are in a recession and our focus is pulling us out of it that would be met more positively than any idiotic word smithing.

Political spin doctoring would be more like “technically it’s a recession, but with the positive signs we see over here, it’s not really like the typical…blah blah blah”.
No, this isn’t spin, this is “2+2 = anything we damn well say it equals you simple minded fools”.

Agreed.
It’s weird. It’s not like a law or anything, it’s basically just a convention.
How do you define it?
say, why do you suppose the admin is trying to redefine it?
2 quarters of negative growth is you owe me fifty cents…
