SUNDAY TALK SHOWS Biden team pushes back on recession fears BY ZACH SCHONFELD - 06/19/22 2:26 PM ET SHARE TWEET ... MORE

Senior Biden administration officials on Sunday pushed back on some economists’ projections of an impending recession, arguing that it is possible to curb inflation without causing a major economic slowdown.

“It’s President Biden’s top priority to bring it down, and [Federal Reserve] Chair [Jerome] Powell has said that his goal is to bring inflation down while maintaining a strong labor market,” Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen said on Sunday. “That’s going to take skill and luck, but I believe it’s possible. I don’t think a recession is inevitable.”

The Biden administration is studying videos of Baghdad Bob in hopes of tweaking his delivery methods for a more believable presentation.

Biden has been saying it’s Putin’s fault. How then can Biden Junta decrease inflation?

The rats will use every trick including fudging data to stay just outside a declared recession. The MSM let them remove gas and food from the inflation calculation for the first time ever. It will be the same with this.

“That’s going to take skill and luck, but I believe it’s possible.”

If “luck” is part of the solution, it’s going to fail.

Gee, if the inflation rate included food and gasoline, we would be in Weimar Republic territory by now. Thanks, Joe Biden!

1Q GDP was negative.

We are 11 days from the end of 2Q and FedNow is estimating 2Q at 0.00% with the weekly updates trending down.

It is likely 2Q will be negative unless there is some data manipulation like the LA port did at the end of 4Q by withholding key data. The LA port is so massive that by itself, it has an impact on GDP.

Two negative quarters in a row = Recession.

Bite Me’s team is correct. There will be no recession.

There will be a depression. By design, and because of their leftist policies.
