Every one of those stats is accurate. What is the question? Please be more clear.

OK, if you really want to prolong the agony.......would most people reading your post of a mere three months ago believe that the US economy was a) expanding or b) contracting or c) headed for a significant stock market correction and a recession? Thanks.

Sure .. The economy has certainly soured in 2022.. It doesn't take a Philadelphia lawyer to determine that .. The job market is still quite strong , and home prices have come off the boil .. What's the question ? Is there a question ?

Just hoping you are learning that dismissing the opinions of others as "clueless", "hopelessly partisan", and "wrong on everything for the last 10 years" looks a bit silly when those opinions turn out to be right. I'm trying to make you a better person!

Are you suggesting 6.9% GDP is not strong or 3.6% unemployment isn't outstanding? Or record household net worth? Record home equity? What am I missing?

Wow! Myopia doesn't even cover it! You are missing the negative growth in the first quarter, at the end of which you told us that the economy was raging. You are missing the negative growth in the second quarter which followed your enthusiastic assessment of the economy. You are missing the 2% decrease in the labor participation rate which is huge. You are missing the fact that household net worth/ record home equity resides with those at the top of the wealth spectrum, driven, in part, by government handouts they didn't need and put straight into savings, and by a housing market hyped by easy money. Perhaps you are unaware that averages can be misleading.

We are in a recession by the most widely accepted definition. Some of the clueless could see this coming and said so.

Both quarters had inventory adjustments...so, I'm not buying the recession talk. I've never seen a recession with sold out airlines, 3.6% unemployment with 2 job openings for every job applicant, iPhone demand raging, average selling price of autos above $50,000, and on and on and on... Restaurants packed, etc . etc.

But , I'll add that recessions are inevitable and I certainly think we will have one... hopefully you're happy now.

And of course most of the job growth is in the Bay area. But at least you can still kneel at the base of confederate monuments in Virginia and North Carolina.
