A bunch of egg headed fools can congregate together, define terms however they like, and present themselves as authorities on economics and semantics but that doesn't mean I have to accept it.

We use words to communicate and when the term “recession” is thrown around to describe something less than hard times it is done for a reason. I would suggest certain individuals and groups have political, social, and legal reasons to exaggerate the economy of the past seven or eight years. Their use of words to describe events which are not accurate is Orwellian.

Just so I can establish what you are saying- are you saying that the organization that has refereed recessions since the practice began in 1920 should defer to your opinion?
