    You’re citing an opinion piece, that vaguely references what yellen says. I just gave you a paper from the IMF, from over a decade before the definition “changed,” that says the definition you use is not the definition.

    You also have to realize that if they had claimed it was a recession, it would have bucked the trends of almost every (if not actually every) recession before it as well. Like employment was going up during the supposed recession. So the argue this person cuts both ways.

      Yeah I guess you’re right, the economy is doing better than ever. I have to choose between food and gas but thank fuck the dems are telling us we’re not in a recession.

        Yes, clearly by pointing out that the definition didn’t change, im saying the economy is better than ever. You’re truly a genius. Lol

        Anything to avoid learning, as I predicted. Not that it was hard to predict.
