Changing the Definition of an Economic Recession?

Is the White House is trying to sweep some bad economic news under the rug? Extreme inflation during a recession...it's hard to get things this wrong unless it's intentional.

wouldn't be the first thing they've redefined...

vaccine, race, gender, "assault weapon", inflation, climate change, etc. etc.
@wildbill83 Exactly. They've got plenty of experience.

@BizSuitStacy Here's another: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/07/23/desantis_gender_affirming_care_is_a_euphemism_for_castration_and_sterilization.html
@graphite Wow. That's sick. And then toss in the jab which causes sterility.

Well of course the Biden Administration is confused about economics. Just look what their people have done

@MasterLee Oh look.

@Zonuss Still better than talking the ears off a brass monkey and saying absolutely nothing coherent

Why not? Most of the media just eats up what the Democrats tell them like a trained seal wolfing down a tossed sardine. Democrats can say whatever they want it won't be questioned by their loyal servants in the media.

@BizSuitStacy Everybody knows the mainstream media does little more than cheerlead for the Democrat Party. https://gazette.com/news/biden-received-less-negative-media-coverage-than-any-president-on-record-while-trump-received-most/article_0538a37b-c162-592e-9454-5dd8a6780791.html
@graphite media is just the propoganda arm of the democrap party.

Imagine a giant, salacious prostituting hooch. That's what the main stream media has become...The Presstitute.

Well, while we are redefining stuff,
I think we entered a recession the day Biden stole office!
@Budwick They've changed the definition of a woman in the dictionary, so pretty much anything is up for grabs.

@BizSuitStacy
They're greedy, corrupt people conniving with their own kind.
In a short year they’ve redefined
Vaccines
Woman
And now recession..
can’t wait for next years load of tripe 🍿

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout 1984 wasn't supposed to be a "How To" manual.

I heard the denials and attempts at redefinition today while I was working.

Janet Yellen is out there "yellin'" about the latest insulting stupidity to emerge from Ron Klain and the stooges in the white house.

If it was the definition in the past, and they've screwed the pooch so badly that they are making things up now, they can pretty much kiss their candy a$$es goodbye.
@4meAndyou It's amazing the lengths they'll go to in order to cover their asses.

He continues to not gain 3%, QTR, to QTR. Trump, always did!

@Oster1 The Elites will put whoever they desire in the chair in 2024. 🙂

@Zonuss
Are you willing to be controled? You have a point, but when voting becomes legitimate enough, without machines, the true elites, the people, will control the process.

The Democrats/Left never have to fix anything. They just change definitions of words. Bad is good. Violence is peace. Inflation is prosperity ... 🤦‍♀️ We are living in “1984.”
@Carissimi Only progressives stand on their heads and tell you the world is upside down.
Notice in the WH's definition is a "hollistic" view. This means it's not anything measurable or definitive. It's purely arbitrary. Par for the course.

Just more horseshit from this complete failure of an administration💩
ron122 · 41-45, M
These idiots are so desperate they will say or do anything knowing it's a lie.
@ron122 just goes to show the contempt and how stupid they think everyone is.
played their hand to early. they needed another 30 years to complete the dumbing down..
@ron122 the last time we had high inflation during a recession was during the Carter years. The Biden administration does not want that association. It's too late though. People see this as even worse...and it is.
All one needs to do is look at the people appointed in the Biden administration. People picked for reasons totally unrelated to the posts their given. A great example is Buttigieg. Then there’s Granholm, secretary of Energy, Mayjorkas, head of DHS, just three major failures, and Yellen( the exception- been around the block and knows better) who knows the realities but does the bidding of Biden’s cabal.

They’ve certainly redefined the definition of:

1. A “plan”
2. A centrist politician
3. Competency
4. Secure border
5. Transitionary inflation
6. Successful withdrawal
@carpediem That they have!

Good luck selling that Shit Sandwich. You can call it a BLT, but it doesn't pass the sniff test.
patriotprincess · 41-45, F
Very interesting
NangiUniverse · 31-35, M
Even China has their own definition.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
We are not in a recession. The job growth trend defies the traditional meaning of the word.
So no, not yet anyway.
Zonuss · 41-45, M
@BizSuitStacy Yes. Your god Donald Trump himself said we are not in a recession. We are in a pandemic.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Zonuss You figured out what a woman is yet?
@Zonuss 🦄💩 deflection. Funny how every economist and media source called it a recession during the end of Trump's term.

Ohh...but now it's different, right? Gotta take a more "hollistic" look. LMFAO.
F***ing liberals have been changing definitions of things anytime it suits them.

Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP has always been the definition.

So Zonuss...here's your chance. What's the definition? How do we know if we're in a recession now?

Consult your crystal ball, incense and hollistic approach.
"Eenie beenie...chilli beenie...the recession spirits are about to speak..."
