CNN now admits we "may" be in a recession. A recession is clearly defined as 2 consecutive quarters of economic downturn. There's no "maybe"

We are in a recession.

And the WH changed the definition. Now a recession is no longer a measurable metric. It's about your feelings. These people are so stupid.

@Roundandroundwego How would changing the definition be conservative?

@BizSuitStacy it's not one of the obvious steps we need to take, - it's stalling, of course.

@Roundandroundwego It's denial. Two consecutive quarters of negative GDP is a recession. Econ 101 level stuff. Changing the definition because it politically beneficial isn't fooling anyone.
