Whether or not concern with NBER's methods is justified (and it's not), you wrote the following false statement:

"However, if one is not a partisan hack, then you would acknowledge that the criteria for determining when an economy is in recession has not been met...i.e., two consecutive quarters of negative growth....."

According to your claim Tony Fratto is a partisan hack. That's obviously not true which shows how laughably false and stupid your statement is.

You've clearly demonstrated you don't have the integrity or balls to correct your error.

And you've never been able to answer the 2001 question. We had 3 out of 5 quarters of contraction, but not 2 in a row. The NBER called it a recession, all economists and government agencies call it a recession.

You, yet again, haven't shown the balls or integrity to take a side. Instead you play the role of a weasel.
