Biden Claims Economic Success as U.S Enters Recession: 'We Are on the Right Path' | Neon Nettle "After destroying America's economy with his failed policies, Democrat Joe Biden is claiming economic success as the United States enters a recession, arguing that "we are on the right path."
Biden's comments come despite White House data published on Thursday showing the second straight quarter of contracted economic growth in the United States.
Thursday's data reveals that the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis’s (BEA) first estimate of the nation’s gross domestic product was worse than the predicted expansion of 0.5%, FXStreet noted.
The economy shrank by a 0.9 annualized rate.
Economists widely define a recession as two consecutive quarters of negative growth.
Despite that, Biden claimed in a statement that the contraction was unsurprising and the economy is heading in the right direction.
