    This article was written in 2007, not to cast doubt on anything I just wanted to clarify for anyone who reads comments first like I usually do

      Don’t know who would downvote you for this, it’s important context.

        I kinda get it because I’m pretty sure they still do, but the article’s presented like it’s new and I just wanted to make it clear that it’s not

    You also had them redefining what a recession is so they can say the US is not in one. For the longest time it was defined as 2 consecutive quarters without gdp growth. Now that’s only the case sometimes according to them, at least i think the article still states that its a new US opinion but the edit war on that one was insane. We need more accountability for this for sure.
