Bush Was Right
Washington Post May 10 2008, p. A13
Does Tom Toles know what a recession is? His May 1 cartoon depicted President Bush denying the existence of a recession.
The president is correct. Economists' definition of recession is two consecutive quarters of negative growth. Our economy has not even come close to that.
It would behoove Toles and the media to stop using terms irresponsibly.
