Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan has slammed Democrat President Joe Biden’s economic rhetoric and issued a warning about his administration’s attempts to twist the definition of a recession.
The Biden administration repeatedly downplayed the definition ahead of an economic report that showed the United States experienced two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction.
The traditional definition of “recession” is met after two consecutive quarters of GDP contraction.
“In terms of the technical definition, [two negative quarters of growth] is not a recession,” said Brian Deese, director of the National Economic Council.
“The technical definition considers a much broader spectrum of data points.”
Moynihan has fired back at the Biden admin for playing semantic games over America’s economic woes.
Splitting hairs over whether the U.S. is actually in a recession demonstrates how out of touch the Biden administration is with the sentiment of everyday Americans, Moynihan told the Associated Press.
“Recession is a word,” Moynihan said.“Whether we are in a recession or not is really not the important thing.“It’s what it feels like for the people going through this.” Slay the latest News for free! Even with the Biden administration celebrating “zero inflation” in July, Moynihan, who leads the second-largest bank in the U.S., warns that he remains concerned about high gas prices and especially skyrocketing rent prices.“Gas prices are coming back down, but rents are going up 10, 12, 15%. And rent can end up taking 40% of these households’ income,” Moynihan said.“We are worried about, for the U.S. broad-based consumer, is the increased rents as we go into the natural turn of rents.”Indeed, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics , shelter prices rose 5.7% year-over-year in July, which the agency explained amounted to “about 40% of the total increase in all items less food and energy” — just as Moynihan said.On the question of […]
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
