Again, by what criteria are you saying we're currently in a recession? Every period in https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1 https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/GDPC1 shows that we're not in a recession when our GDP is currently rising consecutively... Your original comment was insinuating political figures are changing the definition. I'm assuming you mean if we just had 2 consecutive quarters of GDP decline then that definitively means we're in a recession... But that is objectively not the case by the figure you just told me to look up. We're in 2 quarters of real GDP increase.
