Or maybe he is using the new definition of recession Pedo Joe and the WH put out this week


quote:

“I do not think the U.S. is currently in a recession,” Chair Jerome Powell said Wednesday at a news conference in which he suggested that the Fed's rate hikes have already had some success in slowing the economy and possibly easing inflationary pressures.

It will be hilarious watching him admit that we have been in a recession for six months after Q3.

People wonder why we have a problem with responsibility in our youth..just look at Washington and you see at the highest levels people not willing to admit mistakes or show any accountability for life altering wrong decisions.

Remember the procedure:

1) Its not happening
2) It might be happening but don't worry because ____
3) Its been happening and that's a good thing.

I think the term you’re looking for is “corrupt” …

Disingenuous, and not just because he knows we are in a recession. He knows that turning on the gas and oil spigot would be a very rapid and can't miss solution to inflation and economic collapse (while hiking interest rates will trash the economy even worse).

I honestly thinks he’s scared of the left. He knows what’s coming he just can’t say it.

It's just gaslighting. Everything that comes out this stupid fricking administration is gaslighting.

Lie often.
Lie confidently.
Isolate you from the truth.

Informational warfare. It's as simple as that.

The Fed can only print currency. We have a debt-based fiat currency system.

Currency is not money.

Money or a Gold or a finite backed money system will go up or down but will never be zero.

If you create one dollar of fiat and give it to someone it automatically creates 2 more fiats.

The one you were given that you owe back plus the interest.

If they stop creating currency the system collapses.

This is fiat 101. Our fiat currency system is a fraud of fractional reserve lending by banks.

(Schools don't teach they make Leftist Fools)

Propped up by an endless supply of fiat currency.

Real Money like Gold will always have a value.

Created currency only has value if we believe it does
no belief no value.

All this is being done to soften you up to switch you to a Communist FedCoin where they can deny your purchases based on your actions.

I mean look at all the masks people believe anything the tv tells them wait until they freeze your bank accounts and say this is the way back to normal! Fill in the blanks people are stupid because the US has made them this way.

He’s a babbling idiot.

He’s so far behind the 8 ball with rate moves that he may have already wrecked the economy.

There are degrees in Finance but never about Banking!

But the most sought-after jobs are Bankers because they are the closest ones to the currency printing.

Name one job that doesn't produce anything that makes more wages than Bankers or Finance. Stockbrokers produce fees but they at least work for them.

They don't produce anything but they control it all!
