    Don’t know why you’re getting down voted. This is EXACTLY what Biden did.

    Just shows people cannot handle the truth so they down vote instead. Smh.

      I posted elsewhere, but I think the real issue is that it really didn’t look like a recession. While technically it was a recession by the two negative quarters definition, if you look at real GDP it’s barely a blip.

      I suspect at the time the concern was that calling it a recession would have impacted the recovery. Not that I think that’s a good excuse, but they werent hiding the data. With Trump, he’s trying to hide the downturn rather than trying to rally the recovery.

      Calling out Biden here is a very “both sides” centrist kinda mindset.
