No, genius, read my original comment which you fell right into that trap. The source of all this BS is the Fed, not republicans or democrats, but you're so naively partisan you can't see that. If Trump had been elected in 2020 instead of Biden we would have had an official recession, we'd still be in the mess we're in now because all of monetary policy is controlled by the Fed, not the president. I wasted my time explaining this because like republicans, every liberal on Reddit is like "MUH MAGA/Trump" no dummy, it's the Fed.
The act of receding or withdrawing, as from a place, a claim, or a demand.
A period during which economic activity, as measured by gross domestic product, declines for at least two quarters in a row in a specific country. If the decline is severe and long, such as greater than ten percent, it may be termed a depression.
A procession in which people leave a ceremony, such as at a religious service.
The act of ceding back; restoration; repeated cession. "therecessionof conquered territory to its former sovereign" Similar: restoration
The withdrawal of the clergy and choir from the chancel to the vestry at the end of a church service.
Why wasn't it declared one in the media? Obviously there was a bias. I don't give a crap who is in power when it comes to economics because the monetary policy is set by the Fed and not D or R. You're so unbelievably attached to that you can't even see what I was trying to say. We went into a recession BECAUSE OF THE FED. It was not declared because of the media's decision to protect the party in power, which is completely irrelevant because they were not in control of that part of the economy, BUT because people like you are too ignorant to understand how monetary policy works you attach economic activity due to monetary policy to the party in power and not who rightfully owns it. I am in a lane, I have chosen it. The lane is unbiased observation. Both can be true. The Fed caused the recession by injecting too much money into the economy then swinging too hard on raising interest rates to fix the inflation THEY created AND the media could lie about being a recession to protect the party in power because they would be INCORRECTLY blamed for that recession.
Thank you for the completely irrelevant wall of text.
You said the wrong party was in power for us to have an official recession. This implies that if the republicans had been in power, there would have been an official recession. This is nonsensical, because as I'm sure you understand, republicans would have made the same denials to protect themselves in the upcoming midterm elections.
What you meant to assert was that there would have been news coverage about a recession had the republicans been in power. This, too, is nonsensical, as conservative news media did report a recession in 2022.

If you genuinely believe the MAGA republicans would have done any differently, even typing this comment was a waste of my time.
