It’s not a recession, guys!
It’s just a slow-down in growth that is adjacent to the worst inflation in generations and just around the corner from record-breaking prices of energy and basic needs. It’s a re…imagining of the American Dream.
That seems to be the official White house position, anyway. Don’t observe the obvious. Do ignore the signs. Look over there, it’s a January 6th commission!
Our own President, presiding over the worst economy in recent history, told us he doesn’t think we’re in a recession. His press secretary awkwardly repeated the line (is there anything she says that isn’t painfully awkward?) and then to back up their lies, the White House just went ahead and changed the whole definition of ‘recession.’
If you don’t abide by the basic rules of the English language, you don’t have to admit there is something seriously wrong and it’s your fault. If you don’t abide by the basic rules of logic, you never have to admit your total failures.

Gas too expensive? Well, prices are dropping and pay no attention to the fact that the current administration, with their dismal policy failures, drove them higher than any previous administration. Sure, we made the problem, but the problem isn’t as bad as the first problem we made. Be grateful!
Food prices got you stressed? Don’t think about it as having less, think about it as saving the environment and getting a jump on preparations for the New World Order, where bugs will be the popular, sustainable food option and eating meat will be considered as gauche as smoking tobacco. We’re starting you on the path to the future!
Inflation eating up the bump in pay you got as the job market struggled to retain workers? At least you got a pay raise. It doesn’t matter if you pay more for everything else, rendering the raise not just useless, but sometimes bringing a negative result if it bumps you into the next bracket. Don’t think about that. Think about the rising numbers on your paycheck, not the ones on your bills. After all, what is a bill but a sum of money that the government doesn’t give a rip about? You’ll figure it out!
The President – it’s hard to even say that, knowing he doesn’t control much around him these days – has no interest in the incredible struggles average Americans are experiencing these days. He and Dr.Jill thought the mere fact that they were not Trump would be enough to lift them to the legacy status of the Obamas. They didn’t consider that people would actually experience the real-world consequences of their utterly ridiculous, made-up policy. They didn’t count on those consequences being so obvious that even the true believers would notice it.
So what else is there to do? They have to tell us the sky is green, the economy is booming, and you’ve never been happier…you just haven’t noticed yet.
We need prosperity, but instead they line our pockets with lies.
