Notice they are suddenly redefining recession away from the traditional two quarters of negative growth to cover for Joe.
That definition only matters for Republicans /s

“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it. [...] The eyeless crature at the other table swallowed it fanatically. passionately, with a furious desire to track down, denounce, and vaporize anyone who should suggest that last week the ration had been thirty grams. Syme, too-in some more double complex way, involving doublethink-Syme, swallow it. Was he, then, alone in the possession of a memory?”
― Orwell George, 1984
No. They are not recession “fears”. This IS a recession right now. By Definition.
I refuse to accept their “new” definition by which the same standard that was always called a recession in the past somehow doesn’t apply this time. Two negative quarters. Recession.
Wal-mart is talking selling milk by the quart now. People can’t afford larger.
And yet the stock markets are up today (and I suspect the bond mutual funds will get whacked again). We are so being played on our investments.
My life savings is shrinking every day.....................
And when Trump is in power.
You know how they’d treat the news then.
