#3 last week that the Biden administration, in an effort to get out in front of today’s poor economic news, took the liberty of redefining “recession.”

There! See? Problem solved! Just ;like the covid "vaccine".

#4 there will be two revisions to today's estimate

fairly often the final estimate is +/- 0.4%

very seldom is it more than +/- 0.6%

given the negative retail news, e.g., Walmart's quarterly results and projections, consumer confidence, Q3 is not looking good

#5 Biden administration took the liberty of redefining “recession.”

It depends on what the meaning of 'two' is.

Will we hear the WH Press Sec. finally say the magic word Recession or not?

Question: Will inflation and the devaluation of the US $ be the way that the US Gov. pays off its $30.6 Trillion dollar National Debt? 🤪 Hell if we go hyper inflation we can wipeout the national debt and the DNC in 2 may be 3 years.

eg. 2022 1.00 US Dollar = 558,019.37 Venezuelan Bolívares (VEF)
vs.
1990 1.00 USD = 9.9 Venezuelan Bolívares. The Venezuelan Liberal Solicalist Democratic government created it's own hyperinflation by givining, giving and giving socialism for votes. The exchange rate was 6 million bolívars to the U.S. dollar. At one point. A wheel barrel tire was worth more than the wheel barrel filled with 1,0000 VEF notes.

#10 Build back broke: Republicans tear into Manchin deal with 'giant tax hikes' that will 'kill American jobs' in package with a 15% rate on billion-dollar companies, $369 billion on climate and $433 billion in new spending

#11 GOPe will be glad to leave these hikes in place when the chance to roll them back is available.

#12 I don't understand how hyperinflation will wipe out the Democratic National Committee.

If the Dem Natl Comm. would be killed off by that so would the Rep Natl Comm. and lots of orgs that depend on donations.
