You still have nothing (from your beloved ask.com): useconomy.about.com The National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) is the official arbiter of economic expansions and contractions, or business cycles. The most recent recession lasted between March 2001 - November 2001. However, during that time period, GDP growth was negative for only one full quarter. First you wrote (in post 148717): 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. Of course you were wrong. But you didn't have the balls, decency, honor or honesty to admit it. Instead you just dug in deeper (from post 148721): NBER's method is not that one which is commonly used to determine when we are in recession.... The NBER is the official arbiter of U.S. recessions. It's the only official criteria used to determine when we are in a recession. Keep spinning. Keep lying. It's all an ignorant fool like you can do. Honestly, you're pathetic. SD
