Recession!!! Recession!!!

[SAYIT]

Dems have for some time operated on 3 tracks … "Russia, Russia," Racist, Racist," and "Recession, Recession!!!" The first 2 were easily discerned & dismissed political nothing burgers but the 3rd will inevitably occur and our traitorous Dems are working hard to hasten it. The US is due - some would say overdue - for a recession. Since World War II, no period of economic growth has lasted longer than 10 years and the current expansion is now that long. Shrewdly applied monetary policies, smart deregulation, and new-tech driven productivity can keep recession at bay and/or lessen its depth & breadth but the policies espoused by the Democrat Socialist Party will bring it on and make it long.

One of the most destructive traits of hardcore partisan ideologues (and there are many) is hoping for the worst when the other tribe is in power.

Recessions are inevitable, but we're not near one now. And if the China deal turns out to be a good one, we could head back up in terms of GDP. We'll see.

Trump is not only fighting the libtardos, he's fighting the Federal Reserve that raised interest rates 5 times in a year and now they're trying to back track after the damage was done. Trump bitched at them at the time and now they have to agree with him. Never once did you hear a stupid libtardo bitch about raising rates. That's because the Socialists hate America.

Well technical recessions are possible, but we have never really come out of the other one. Quantative Easing and now this version they are doing to add "liquidity" have left us in a perpetual state of blah. Has all the makings of a liquidity trap. People just refuse to acknowledge it.

I would like to ask a question. They say expansion usually has a limit time wise but does it take into account the recovery time? I mean yes, we went up after the collapse but how many of those so called expansion years were just getting back to the surface?
I don't understand how regaining lost ground is considered expansion...

That's an interesting question. It's really just a matter of terminology. So periods of GDP growth are given the generic term "expansion" and periods of falling GDP growth are called "contraction" or "recession". No regard is given in that context to what we have actually done from Point A to Point B.

If we do that, it gets more complicated. So for example, GDP was about $14.6T for Q4 2007. Then the shit hit the fan, but now we're at about $21.1T. But then you have to factor in stuff like inflation and productivity or a zillion other data points, depending on what you're looking for.

So "expansion" is just a specific term for a specific issue.

What would you call it? Economies expand and contract. If ground is lost and regained that is still expansion.
