That doesn't change the definition of "Recession" - nor did they reflect any significant change in the GDP Growth Rate (which is the driver of whether or not the nation is in a recession).

Because the poster in question is a nobody - as is everyone on this board.
He's certainly welcome to his opinion, it's just that his opinion DOESN'T MATTER. He's certainly not in a position to DEFINE a standard international economic term like "Recession".

If not for the government changing the way they figure things we would be in a recession. Probably never came out.

My area has been going down and they say it will until Labor Day. Down from $3.45 to $3.39 yesterday.

the way i see they just jerk us around and rip us off

they have oil wells in the us

they have a huge stockpile in a cave or something (so i have heard beats me if true)

point is we have enough to one keep prices allot lower

two we dont need iraq and those fights

sorry sore subject forgive me

bush stated when he started that crap we will not force or ways or religion on other country's

and gee were trying women's lib voting etc( yes i may be off i dont watch the news i hate it and whats on it)

and now they want to send more back

im tired of our hard working thinking there doing the us or whatever had a mind fart forgot

anyway all over for nothing then come home to a country who craps on there care

that enrages me and for a place we shouldn't be so what if they cant take care of themselves or Taliban is retaking what we freed its there life

Africa and others have genocide monthly fammon every disease known

are we helping them no they dont have oil and crap we wont and already have

but thats my opinion and its proven wrong allot

like the rumors of gadgets carburetors that go forever

although bmw or one of them has a 400 mile diesel car to bad it costs so much man 400 miles disabled i would fill the tank every month or so lmao
