A recession is when your neighbor loses his job.

A depression is when you lose yours.

When you experience “shrinkflation”, it’s sure sign of inflation. And I’m seeing more than my share of shrinkage

The definition of recession that is most widely accepted is the one determined as “a significant decline in economic activity that is spread across the economy and lasts more than a few months.”

That's the common definition of a depression. A recession is two or more consecutive quarters of negative growth, regardless of how high or how low. We're in a recession, as the GNP figures due out this week will confirm.

I think it was Nixon that said a recession is any time
the American people lose faith in the future...

Leave it to asinine press to obfuscate the issue. Always something in the way of their agenda.

On the cusp of a recession??

Gee… all one has to do is to compare the economy before January 2021 and after…. Yep, it’s been receding since January 20 of that year..

I call THAt a “recession”.

It’s a recession when I have to change my budget because I pay 2x’s more for gas and groceries.

It’s comical to watch them sing and dance.

If Trump were president right now, they’d have been hawking
“the Recession” for 5.5 weeks by now.

Their boy is a two legged horse, and Trump has six.

These AP idiots think their Jedi Mind tricks will work on general public. Well it probably will on the weak minded (aka Democrats and liberals).

“AP EXPLAINER: How do we know when a recession has begun?’

When Biden and his “experts” say it hasn’t began!

Add in Gov’t Spending WTF! That’s complete BS! They can just spend themselves away from a recession by that dumb logic.

Are you trying to tell me that the same bunch that can’t define what a woman is are having trouble defining what a recession is?

Simple ... if a Republican is President, one quarter of negative growth.

If a Dem is President, never ... its just a transition.

When the RATS don’t agree with something they change the rules or definitions and give it a new name.

So 1984-ish

Yet that definition isn’t the one that counts.

Pretty green sky we have today.

It’s fun watching Ass Press squirm with all the others, but in fact what is happening doesn’t really need a label to be happening. It’s happening.

I love listening to these uneducated closet economists...

Here is the real deal..
We are witnessing the bush 07 depression level event finally playing itself out..
The chance for a soft landing was at the end of fubo’s term and the beginning of President Trump’s term.

But, alas, the economy was kicking ass, and nobody had the balls to “ slow it down”.

Now, we all are going to pay the price.
This is going to be a late ‘70’s, early ‘80’s type of event, only worse.
And if Brandon don’t stop screwing around, then we are only seeing the beginning.
