Quote of the day from JK at Three Sources.
After noting 0.6% growth in q1_2008
So, like New Coke® and Coke Classic®, we have a classic recession, where the economy suffers two consecutive quarters or negative GDP growth, and a “New” recession where a Republican is in the White House and growth is sub par. Got it.
ROFL

Thanks for posting this – am sooooo sick of twisted statistics!!
Thanks for QOTD honors, I’m touched.
Also mortified at the typo. Try “two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth…” Typing is my gift.
