When is a recession not a recession? When the White House says so.

[task0778]

As concerns mount about a possible recession this year, White House National Economic Council director Brian Deese argued that a second consecutive quarter of negative GDP growth was technically “not a recession.”

According to Deese, the “technical definition considers a much broader spectrum of data points.” He also emphasized the need to look ahead rather than “technical debates about backward-looking data.”

CNN “New Day” host John Berman said, “It sounds like you’re anticipating what will be comments from some saying two quarters of negative growth in a row — that’s a recession.”

“Right,” Deese replied. “And certainly, in terms of the technical definition, it’s not a recession. The technical definition considers a much broader spectrum of data points.

On Thursday (28th) the 2nd Quarter GDP numbers will come out and I suspect the data will be negative for Apr-Jun, meaning that the gov't itself actually says we're in a recession. But obviously the politicians on the Left will try to spin everything with rose-colored glasses, as Mr. Deese does in the rest of the interview that you can read in the link. But I think he's wrong, if the 2nd qtr GDP numbers come out negative then technically we ARE in a recession.

That’s right, everything is all White now. Biden says so.

Just like a man can have a baby and babies are not humans and can be killed up to the age of two... Biden's changing the terms to fit his cultish agenda.

The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) does not define a recession in terms of two consecutive quarters of decline in real GNP. Rather, a recession is a recurring period of decline in total output, income, employment, and trade, usually lasting from six months to a year, and marked by widespread contractions in many sectors of the economy.

Word play always helps when a country is being deliberately destroyed. Another distraction to try and hide the truth.

One can argue about the specifics of economic growth and how it is measured, many say the GDP calculation that many people use to gauge such things is itself flawed. But IMHO the bottom line is that people feel like we're in a recession regardless of what the gov't says. The usual indicators for a recession seem to be missing but when your purchasing power is dropping for the average American, it's hard to convince them that the economy isn't turning to shit. According to a Morning Consult survey taken earlier this month, 65% or registered voters believe the US is already in a recession.

Are We in a Recession? 2 in 3 Voters Say Yes

Nearly 4 in 5 Republicans think the U.S. is currently in a recession, up from about 2 in 5 two years ago during an actual recession

And on Thursday the Fed is expected to rise the base interest rates up another .75%, and that ain't going to help economic growth either.

How the leftist voters allow them to do, day and get away with this is beyond me.

A recession in the US is generally defined by the NBER. You don't need 2 consecutive quarters to have a recession....our last recession was just 2 months.

Amazing how much space I take up in your head.

As I have said in other threads, a recession is defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. So, this is a recession. You're welcome.

And this is as far as I will go in trying to discuss economics and markets with Trumpsters.

We're not in a recession. We are in a transitory period.

God Democrat voters are completely stupid.
