“Democrats disgust me as much as they do you but I cannot for the life of me understand why you can’t seem to comprehend that Republicans also had to vote yes “

When did the republicans vote to change the definition of recession? That is what I am referring to. OOOPS That is to which/what I refer?

Politicians don’t get to set the definition. The NBER has been the referee since 1920.

The National Bureau of Economic Research is a bunch of geeks that chew numbers, economists. Nothing says they are Dims or Reps.

If bush hadn’t signed the Bill to get subprime loans out to the poor illegals and poor blacks, most of this recession never would have happened. Now, when it becomes a depression, that’s when it will be all Bush’s fault. His administration is still in charge and they have had the economic ball in their hands for the past 8 years.
