Insisting that this is the one and only correct definition of a recession would be just as stupid as saying (hypothetically speaking) that a cold must last at least 24 hours before it can officially be called a cold. ** roll eyes ** One definition of a recession is “a decline in GDP for two or more consecutive quarters”.

He was rebuked by Carter, who said he was scaring people with talk of a recession. So when Kahn next spoke to the press, he said "Yes, I think we are on the verge of a serious banana."
