Revised GDP data shows US economy shrank in the second quarter, solidifying two straight quarters of contraction

That matches the most recent GDP estimate and shows the economy was in contraction for the entire first half of the year as businesses readjusted to pandemic-era supply chain disruptions.

The latest scorecard on the economy may reignite the debate as to whether the United States has been in a recession, commonly defined as two consecutive quarters of negative growth. However, the official arbiter is a panel of National Bureau of Economic Research economists, who take an array of economic indicators into consideration and can revise the data many years later. This story is developing and will be updated.

Bobulinski ?

Lets go Brandon, and the shrill VP.

Do the power companies focus only on affluence? I live in a RV resort in Arcadia, Florida (Big Tree Resort) where appx 800 ppl (many 70+) are forced to live without power and water. Why hasn’t CNN come to the less affluent areas for news? Our lives matter. We need help too!!

This is worrying news, especially when paired with inflation. If it contracts for a third straight quarter, the economy is officially in recession. Recession might be inevitable as it might be the only way to slow demand and decrease prices. EconUMD LuiggiDonayre econ_ta

You mean a recession?

The DOW was at 31,188 at the close on Jan 20, 2021 when Biden took office. The Dow opened today 9/30/22 at 29,104. Gas prices have been shooting BACK up again, and interest rates on loans are going way up.

Bidenflation BidenRecession

people get it wrong, the issue here is nor GDP but GDI or how the production in its different incomes is distributed: salaries, rentals, interests, taxes, profits, etc where clearly workers are bearing the worst part and will not improve in the short time

Two quarters of negative growth isn’t transitory.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPEN WHEN YOU PRINT SOO MUCH MONEY AND IT WAS 90% GIVEN TO DEMOCRATIC PARTY KICK BACKS PROGRAM.

AKNewsNow: The economy shrank in the first half of this year, the government confirmed in a report Thursday, underscoring fears of a broad-based slowdown that could lead to a recession.

And solidifying the irrefutable fact that we are in a Biden recession.

There might be a word for that not sure tho

Since the GDP data shows two straight quarters or contraction, does this mean our economy is getting weaker? And that the US is more likely to be considered in a recession in the near future? LuiggiDonayre econ_ta EconUMD

Hmmm. Something something rhymes with recession… 🤔

Who are you and what have you done to CNN? This is the truth and I’m really not used to reading a truthful CNN article.

Thanks for nothing

But not a recession!!!

Hard to believe the public has lost faith in your objectivity.

RECESSION!!!! Thank you BIDEN AND His FAILED POLICIES!

Let’s be honest here…if the UltraMAGAgop would have gotten all their vaccinations and triple boosters, we wouldn’t have record high inflation, that is leading us into super-hyper climate change, that is directly causing Putins price hikes to lead us into a soft recession.

The economy is about to give birth.

So, A Recession?

Say it, say the word, you know what it is, you just described it. Say it.

MaxNordau Isn't that a RECESSION?

Changing definitions to gaslight

Sure hope people are still happy about voting for this ignorant, inept cadaver in the White House. Every metric was better under Trump but the left tries to tell us not to believe our eyes.

Is it ok to call it a recession now?!

So will you call it by its proper pronoun….Recession?

ok MSM: Give me an R; give me an E; give me a CESSION. WHAT DOES IT SPELL

I keep forgetting what’s the word that describes such scenario. Can someone please help me?

MaxNordau So, recession

What's the word for this phenomenon? Come on.... you can say it!

So a recession?

Boys and Girls, that's what we have always called a recession. That is until we had a Democrat in the White House and the media abdicated its duty and started carrying the water and spouting propaganda of the Democrat Party

Now will you call it a recession. Or do norms no longer matter

Also known as “a recession.”

Recession. Will you admit it now? STOP VOTING DEMOCRAT!!!!!!!

So, you're saying the US is in a recession.

I know why And you know why

Is this a recession, lol?

It's not a recession if a demented ped is POTUS

Which means…? Come on, you’re so close!

MaxNordau

There’s a name for this right?

So it a recession. When will start calling out the Biden administration and DemocRats for their reckless policies and spending?

MaxNordau If...if only we had a name for this...

But still not a recession?

RECESSION.. SAY IT

Here's rolling for three...

I’ll take “Things that use be called a recession” for $1000!

Recession

RECESSION. Say the word, even if your Leftist political masters in the White House will squeal.

It's ok, you can say it. Re-ces-sion.

MaxNordau That would be a recession, right!?!

So a recession

So when the GOP retakes both chambers of Congress and the report shows up for Q3 and Q4 for a whole year of GDP shrinkage, that's when it's a recession

a/k/a RECESSION

And we call that a...?

Strongest economic recovery in history Jack. There is no other way to describe this.

MaxNordau Recession

If you don’t want to call this a recession then you’re the bad guys in 1984.

The word you're looking for is = RECESSION. You're welcome.

Recession

Would it be a recession if a republican was in the White House?

So recession, or are we still 're-imagining' the R word 🤣🤣🤣

CNN owned by DNC?

What’s that called again?

So we are in a recession. Thanks Dems. 🖕 🌮✊

If Trump were the president they call it what it is, a recession. But the media and the Democrats are in bed together they play word games like this.

MaxNordau = a Recession.

It’s called Recession Stop twisting yourselves into knots to protect the current President and start doing your god damned job.

Has the GOP read the latest unemployment stats, it appears that one set of data indicated one thing while the other the opposite - wonder who’s Data is Based on LIES.

Say 'Recession' you nuspeak merchants.

Joey Recession!!!

MaxNordau Stealing elections has consequences

However, there isn't a recession because a Democrat is the president.

MaxNordau Wonder how President Gaslight will remind us that we’re not in a recession still 🤡🤡

And it’s called a recession …

WHAT’S IT CALLED? WHAT’S IT CALLED? RECESSION? RECESSION? RECESSION ? RECESSION ? RECESSION ?

And that means? Why won’t you say it?

Don't say it.. Don't say it.. Don't say it.. Re....cess....ion

MaxNordau A recession? Or are you guys still busy redefining that word?

There’s actually a word for that.

RECESSION

just pretend trump is president and you can call this what it actually is, a recession.

Otherwise Known as a recession

Twisted how cnn lends itself to propaganda techniques

If only we had a word for this type of thing…. You know, one word that covers two consecutive quarters of the economy shrinking or contracting. Like recession, for example.

So um...recession.

Just days away from the 3rd. You could clean up a lot of wasted filler in your headline if you used the proper term for such a thing, a recession.

It’s called a recession

guypbenson It's called RECESSION. CALL IT WHAT IT IS SKIPPY- RECESSION.

...and yet, unemployment is almost non-existent, and wages have matched inflation, in most cases. Gas prices are the lowest in the free world. Supply chains are adjusting, and the nation's infrastructure is being rebuilt, after decades of neglect. Maybe things aren't so bad.

This whole TL is filled with Americans jizzing because they get to call the tiny gdp shrinkage a recession. Same people who were unaware Trumps admin announced we'd entered a recession one month before pandemic hit. Same people who dismissed his denial of covid as 'cheerleading.'

PattyMurray was this part of your plan you voted for it. SmileyForWA discussion topic. Maybe run an ad.

The water must be cold

Don't say the R-word

So we are in a recession

Mahsa_Amini OpIran

Yet somehow, this isn't a 'recession.'

guypbenson Not a recession, though, because a Democrat is president.

Biden is still looking for Jackie to get her opinion on if we are in a recession or not

With democrats in full control the only direction the economy will go is down, down and down.

people in Iran are fighting for their human rights. be their voice, they need support 💔مهسا_امینی مهسا_امینی Mahsa_Amini oplran

I love how you're so desperate to not say the obvious, especially before an election.

Rhymes with 'procession'.

What a vibe man

According to POTUS and PressSec we still can’t say we are in a recession.

I just wish there was a single word that we could use to quantify what this is. Something that the everyday citizen could hear and understand the situation.

Sounds like a recession.

Recession. The word you’re looking for is recession.

It's a recession. Say recession you statist scumbag media.

recession

Yeah, that's a recession.

BidenRecession

If only there were a word for this…

Also known as a recession

If only there were a word to describe such a thing 🤔

We are in recession and its only going to get worse so long as Democrats are in power.

GDP is a good indication of the wealth and growth of the overall economy. Due to the struggling economy dealing with raising rates and high inflation GDP has had two consecutive quarters of contraction. EconUMD econ_ta LuiggiDonayre

Recession. Say it. SAY IT!

A synonym for contraction is recession. Just thought I'd remind you.

Your almost there

So the recession is a recession?

'contraction'

This is the strangest recession ever considering everyone is hiring….

I believe the word you’re looking for is recession…

yeah thats called RECESSION chuckles.

What is this economic contraction in two straight quarters called? Seems like I remember there used to be a name for it. 😏

What was/is that called again?

Are we allowed to call that a recession now?
