Are Rumors Of Recession Mere Fabrications?

______________

In the past few weeks, I've caught myself saying, whenever I am pulled into a discussion about the economic "recession," that Americans "hear about recessions EVERY election cycle." I know that I am ill-equipped to descry the numbers buried in the convolutions of economic reportage, my technical understanding of the meaning of "recession" notwithstanding. But at least one seemingly qualified person thinks that "The 'Recession' Is A Media Myth."

What do you think?

I'd love to know.

Peace.
