The economy remains the top issue on the minds of Americans, according to the new poll. Two-thirds of those questioned say that the economy is in a recession. That's up five points from January and 20 points from October.

Then it's official. Two-thirds of Americans are complete morons. The economy still has a positive rate of growth. That means it is, by definition, not in recession.

I feel embarrassed to live in a country where a pollster would even bother to ask the question or that people would bother to answer it, let along answering the question wrong.

Maybe we are transitioning to a situation where people consider the economy to be in “recession” if there is an insufficiently large rate of growth. Kind of like how a 5% increase in Medicare funding can be called a “cut” because it is less than the 7% increase proposed.

Actually we could be in the start of a recession, but won't know for 6 months. Right now there are mixed signals.

You're spot on. The "recession" question shows that most Americans are brain-dead. It is like a British poll reported this weekend, in which a quarter of all respondents thought "Winston Churchill" was a "fictitious" character. More than half, however, thought that Sherlock Holmes was a real person. LOL.

This economic ignorance is INTENTIONAL.

The left has to keep the public misinformed and ignorant on basic economics,

otherwise, no one would EVER support them.
