Palace Guards, Assemble! Biden Rallies His Media Praetorian to Push His "There Is No Recession Unless We Admit There's One" Propaganda Strategy

Politico reports the Biden Disaster is "arm-twisting" all of their allies and sycophants to "fortify the election" one more time.

The White House is scrambling behind the scenes and in public to get ahead of a potentially brutal economic punch to the face that could give Republicans the chance to declare that the "Biden recession" is under way.
Wall Street analysts, economists and even some in the Biden administration itself expect a report on Thursday to show the economy shrank for a second straight quarter, meeting a classic -- though by no means the only -- definition of a recession.

Senior administration officials are hitting the airwaves and arm-twisting reporters in private, imploring anyone who will listen that the economy -- despised by majorities of both Republicans and Democrats fed up with inflation -- is still healthy.

So it's the Council of Economic Advisors who gets to declare a recession?

Gee, I wonder what kind of impartial, detached experts sit on that?

"I don't think any of us are trying to convince anyone that their feelings about the economy are wrong," Jared Bernstein, a member of the Council of Economic Advisers and one of Biden's longest-serving aides, said in an interview. "What we are trying to do is explain things in a much more nuanced way than most people are getting from the daily news flow."

Bernstein's CEA and the Treasury Department are cranking out blog posts and studies arguing that the current post-pandemic moment -- while strange and disconcerting to many Americans -- is nowhere close to a recession.

Wait, I think I'm wrong about that -- I think it's people on the Bureau of Economic Analysis or something that declare a recession.

Still: Deep State Democrats.

Sorry about that premature Pouncing.

They keep claiming that it can't be a recession because the economy is -- or was -- still adding jobs, but that's a red herring. The economy was regaining jobs it had shed due to the artificial conditions of a government enforced shutdown. It wasn't growing in a real way. It was just adding back jobs which had been artificially lost. Artificially lost, then artificially gained.

Not job growth at all.

And no jobs have in fact been "created" -- we're still well short of Trump's employment peak, and way, way short of the jobs we'd need to equal Trump's jobs peak plus population growth.

So Biden's henchmen are looking at the lockdowns in exactly the wrong way. They don't show that Biden's doing a great job; they show he's doing a shit job.

And isn't it funny that Biden's own cronies are the people who are now trying to Jedi Mind Trick us: "These are not the back-to-back quarters of economic contraction you're looking for!"

Ed Driscoll at Instapundit points out that AP is all too willing to Re-Fortify the Election for Biden by jumping on the New Math bandwagon.

But he also Seizes and Pounces on AP having used the Old Math in January of this year, deciding that two quarters of back-to-back contraction was in fact the definition of a recession for a president they didn't cheat to get into office:

He also quotes this from AP's own stylebook:

A recession is a falling-off of economic activity that may be a temporary phenomenon or could continue into a depression. A common definition is two straight quarters of economic contraction. A more official determination is made by the National Bureau of Economic Research, which considers a range of indicators in declaring a recession. The bureau’s determination is typically made well after a recession has begun and sometimes after it has ended.

As Dave Harsanyi pointed out yesterday, the definition of a "recession" is only a little wobbly because the two-quarters-of-negative-growth is underinclusive. That is, you can have a recession even if you don't have two quarters of negative growth. For example, you can have a quarter of tiny, tiny growth -- say, 0.1% -- and then negative growth, and they'll say that's a recession.

Or you can have negative growth, a quarter of tiny growth, and then another quarter of negative growth, and they'll say that's a recession .

But, as was pointed out yesterday, whenever there has in fact been two quarters of negative growth -- shrinkage, is the Costanza approved term -- it has been deemed a recession, in ten of the last ten times we've seen that.

Then vs. now: What is a "recession?"

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

126 As Dave Harsanyi pointed out yesterday, the definition of a "recession" is only a little wobbly because the two-quarters-of-negative-growth is underinclusive. That is, you can have a recession even if you don't have two quarters of negative growth. For example, you can have a quarter of tiny, tiny growth -- say, 0.1% -- and then negative growth, and they'll say that's a recession.
++++
"Bouncing around zero for a while, bracketed by negatives" is a more subtle problem to try to define, which is why we have rules about it. Is -0.1 and 0 and then +0.1 and then 0 a recession? Not really, it's stagnation. But we have rules so that we can call things the same words over time and check how we're doing. The rule won't make sense in all circumstances, but it will make sense in most circumstances. That's how rules work.

And this is a damned recession in fact, as well as by rule. But they can play any word games they want and it won't change the reality.

182 Sadly for the Pauls of the world, it turns out that countries actually still do exist in a meaningful way. The immediate prelude to this bullshit was the global expert class choosing to blow up the world over COVID. This did tremendous damage, including inflation and supply chain problems and production declines and unemployment. To that degree, it's a fair point - though an unsophisticated and simplistic one - to say that it isn't Biden's fault. Even without Biden, we'd have some of these bad effects and we'd definitely have higher than usual inflation.

But the countries are still real and starting last year, policies started diverging again like they should. And Biden's policies are dog shit and everyone knows it. Spend more. Print more. Borrow more. Restrict more. Produce less stuff. Produce less energy. Subsidize the inefficient and unreliable.

We'd be in rough shape regardless because of this government's (and most others) buying into the global expert class's unalloyed bullshit in the COVID response. That has to be paid for and recovered from, and it would suck regardless. But now we also have a petulant retard and his politburo doubling down on everything.

The other is the belief in neuro-linguistic programming being able to change the actual world.

(Neurolinguistic programming uses stories like: The wassapoo tribe in central Nicaragua has no word for pain, so before Europeans conquered them culturally, when one of them would accidentally get his balls nailed to a tree, they would just be happy and cheerful while their family members alternately congratulated them and tried to invent a nail puller. Now contaminated with Western culture they just shriek in agony, and the fact they have access to nail-puller technology is a sad compensation for loss of Eden-like innocence)

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that she has not seen a “smoking gun” during the January 6 hearings, so she believes former President Donald Trump will not be prosecuted.

Behar said, “I don’t know. I mean, you know, there was a report today in The Washington Post by, what is her name? Carol Leonnig she broke the story, and Lester Holt said it could cause a disruption in the country, and Merrick Garland said, that’s not my problem. My problem is to bring people to justice if they’re guilty. Okay, good. On the other hand, they say it’s a very high bar to prosecute a sitting president or a former president. It’s never been done before. It’s a very, very high bar. But if Merrick Garland is saying no one is above the law, then what does the high bar mean? The whole thing is very confusing, and it makes me insecure about whether this will actually happen for Trump. The high bar, yes, and he’s definitely out to prove he did something wrong, but, again, they say that we’ve never seen this before. I don’t believe it. I don’t believe it.”

I've owned a business since 1992 and over the years I've observed that a leading indicator of recession is when the number of unsolicited business credit card applications I receive increases. They started to increase shortly after Biden took office and are still going strong. Expect there is a lot of money to be made when a credit card is maxed out and you can only afford to pay the interest charge every month.

Short term, yes, and in changing attitudes towards things I agree. Re-framing is a very successful way of conducting a negotiation, and a good way to get someone to change their life. It will have large effect in situations where there is no alternate opinion allowed and there is a need to agree to fit into a society, I will agree.

Long term it is hard to show effectiveness where someone's opinion is that up is down, or that this smoldering crater of an economy that has sucked all your savings away and you will be working until you are 82 is the best ever.
Though it can redirect who to blame. That has been going on for about 180 years or more.

I think it'll influence some mushy-headed persuadable voters. "I would think things were bad, but they say we're not in a recession."

I also think that if the media treated the economy like they would under Trump, it would influence a lot of LIVs.

However, it doesn't affect the underlying economic reality and the people's very real interactions with it. The media is keeping a few fingers in the dyke, but there are far more holes than they can plug with their fat fingers. So, it would be worse for Democrats if they weren't doing it, but it's still really bad.

373 I've owned a business since 1992 and over the years I've observed that a leading indicator of recession is when the number of unsolicited business credit card applications I receive increases. They started to increase shortly after Biden took office and are still going strong. Expect there is a lot of money to be made when a credit card is maxed out and you can only afford to pay the interest charge every month.
Posted by: moon_over_vermont at July 27, 2022 04:24 PM

I noticed this, too.

Plus, there is a LOT more anxiety about credit card debt. My friend was telling me about the bank contacting her and her husband re: consolidating their debt under a low-interest loan. The deal-breaker was a $1K fee - ridiculous to them, but willingly paid by others.

Shrinkage is exactly why I hate the Metric System! It's so much easier to fool people if they have no idea how to measure something. The metric system was foisted on us with the admonitions: oh! It's so much better than the Imperial System! Europe and the world use the Metric System! So instead of actually teaching students how to measure in tens, schools pretty much just stopped teaching kids how to measure at all. Remember when measurements were printed on the inside of marble notebooks? You saw that stuff everyday!

Kamala is going to be pressured to step aside and the deep state democrats are going to pick a young presidential replacement.

They will then say that they insisted that he resign immediately, with the MSM touting how the democrats stand for transparency and good government. It's their only hope to avoid being crushed in the midterms and it allow them to shed Biden and put everything behind them.

470 Diana Kennedy died Sunday.

She's famous for starting the Mexican regional cuisine revolution with her cookbooks.

Pretty much all of the Coyote Cafe type places uh...used her cookbooks as an inspiration for their restaurant menus. *ahem*

Anyway, her cookbooks are great and easy to follow and I've never made a dish that was bad following the recipes in one of her books.

Get one. Your kitchen is kinda empty without one of her cookbooks.

570 "Goldblum was terrific in the Fly, he and Geena Davis really had chemistry and their interactions felt very real."

and he was with her in Earth Girls are Easy ...fun but stupid. His career died I guess, but the body lives on, no matter how many times he dies here.

572 It does cheer me that they finally managed to make a Jurassic movie that was so bad even the dumbest fans finally gave up on it. I was starting to think there was no depth of stupidity and bad writing that could be reached before people stopped going to these movies.

That's a bit harsh. Its not classic cinema but its no worse than the fast and furious franchise. There's plenty of stuff that infinitely worse to have been made in the same time frame. Its made way more money on a gimmick than it should have, but well, people like spectacle. The modern summer movie is more spectacle than it is story. Its something you look at, like a car wreck, until its over. then you think, wow glad that didnt happen to me. Its not art. Not at all.

574 Goldblum belongs to a distinguished and shrinking fraternity of actors: he was shot by Bronson, in Death Wish. Very few survivors of that experience.

Want to get even with that mocking restaurant? Hang a banner out front with the great required-reading joke of MY high school days:

"Diarrhea Van Frank." And call them that.

No, no, no. I fully support their aspirations to confiscate wealth from these parasites and give it to the deserving poor, and drive them out of their community.

577 Meta/Facebook, whatever that worthless company is calling itself now, says that their profit miss was due to weak advertising revenue.

Which is usually the first sign of a recession, advertising spending drops.

Also happens when your advertisers start to learn that you are fraudulently making up posters and hits to charge them.

579 On a lighter note, this was pretty cool.

Rotating an entire building 90 degrees in 1 month time back in 1930... while everyone inside kept on working.

The Indiana Bell Telephone Company had plans to build a larger facility to accommodate more workers and equipment. This would have meant a cut in telephone service during demolition, so the main contractor proposed relocating the existing building instead.

584 This won't be welcomed or be a popular observation here, but I think Ace is angling for a pick-up by Salem Media. He's been linking to SM properties a lot lately, even though he dumps on their leftist shining stars like AllahPundit. I've been here for 15+ years and I've seen more SM links in the last month than I've seen cumulatively in forever. I mean, good for you Ace, if you can get a payoff, but it detracts from your bona fides of dissing the squishes at SM. Sad to see it, but still happy for you.
