Joe Biden's economy is in a recession.

Description

The U.S. Gross Domestic Product shrank 1.6% in the first quarter, and the Atlanta Fed expects it to fall another 2.1%t in the second quarter. It has been the definition of a recession that two-quarters of negative growth constitutes a recession. The Bureau of Economic Analysis will release its advance estimate of second-quarter GDP on Thursday. Only the Bureau of Economic Analysis can change the definition. But Joe Biden says, "It's not a recession." National Economic Council Director Brian Deese told CNN that the U.S. was not in a recession, even if it had two straight quarters showing a contraction in GDP. Deese preemptively called it "inherently backward-looking." "Certainly in terms of the technical definition, it's not a recession," he said. It's not just what the Bureau of Economic Analysis says; here's what Investopedia says: "A recession is a macroeconomic term that refers to a significant decline in general economic activity in a designated region. It had been typically recognized as two consecutive quarters of economic decline, as reflected by GDP." But that can change, too – just like that! Don't like the definition of who can compete against women in sports? Just change the definition of women. Don't like the definition of borders for the United States? Just change the definition of borders. Don't like the definition of science? Just change the definition. Don't like the definitions of vaccine/vaccination? Just change it. Don't like the way "cheating" in elections is defined? With the way the official stylebook at the Associated Press is going, we'll soon get a NEW DEFINITION. All it will take is for Big Tech to enforce it in this crazy world in which we live in, unfortunately. "This is so pathetic," protested Republican communications specialist Matt Whitlock. "First, the gall to think you can change long-held definitions to suit your political circumstances Second, to think this helps the American people who already have huge recession fears and low confidence in the Biden economy. Deck chairs on the Titanic." He went on: "There is no better encapsulation of the Biden White House than watching his team desperately spin away news that we're already in a recession.... While President Biden is preparing to declare a 'National Climate Emergency' to appease the far left and Democrat staffers." But Republicans don't have a say in what our definitions are. I have to wonder what new word they will come up with next. So if we are in a recession the next step will be a depression. That's when people sell their cars and use public transportation. No more paying for gas, car insurance, and automobile maintenance.
