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?
I’m saying I don’t give a damn what they call it or what they think.
Let’s say some group (somewhere, representing whatever) declares “We are the official definers and we have decided the 1930’s were actually a time of prosperity.” Would their saying so make it so? I don’t even care if they are mandated by a branch of the government to make such proclamations.
The economy is cyclical. Always has been, always will be. I could predict a boom ahead but that doesn’t mean we are in it now. The same goes for last winter. It was easy to predict a recession in the near future but that didn’t mean we were in one then, regardless of what this bunch says now.
