Sooo what's the brand new definition of Recession? Or have they not "defined" it yet because they're waiting to see just how bad Biden's economy gets

It's whatever they want it to be.  Everyone else says it's two consecutive quarters of declining GDP.

Quote

The official arbiter of recessions in the U.S. is the National Bureau of Economic Research, which defines one as a significant decline in economic activity, spread across the economy for more than a few months. Its Business Cycle Dating Committee considers factors including employment, output, retail sales, and household income—and it usually doesn’t make a recession determination until long after the fact.

They are waiting for it to identify itself.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. economy shrank from April through June for a second straight quarter, contracting at a 0.9% annual pace and raising fears that the nation may be approaching a recession. The decline that the Commerce Department reported Thursday in the gross domestic product — the broadest gauge of the economy — followed a 1.6% annual drop from January through March. Consecutive quarters of falling GDP constitute one informal, though not definitive, indicator of a recession. Even with the economy recording a second straight quarter of negative GDP, many economists do not regard it as constituting a recession.

As for today, go read any financial publication. It’s the fine line the feds are trying to walk. Too much - recession, too little - high inflation.

“Most investors, economists see Fed rate hikes causing a recession within one year, CNBC survey shows.”
