If the government says it's not inevitable, that means it will be happening. I think it's fair to say at this point that the opposite of what they say is happening is what's actually happening.

HE SAID DURING THE DEBATES HE WAS GOING TO GUT THE ENERGY INDUSTRY! AND HE DIDN'T CARE IF IT HURT AMERICANS! HE KEPT HIS PROMISE! LOOK IT UP!

I have zero faith in the government stopping a recession, its happening. Its actually kind of embarrassing to hear the president saying one is not happening when every single business is already preparing for one.

Why not trust the"experts", none of them have let us down so far .

From the same folks who said inflation was transitory 6 months ago and would go away.

Recession is coming. Its only about how deep and how long. Yellen with her massive inflationary spending program she championed and Jay Powell printing money like there is no tomorrow in a booming economy have wrecked the world with fiat money. Now they both say oops but no worries no recession.

People who wear their mask alone in the car still believe this potato.

If Boe Jiden said it's avoidable, that means we are barreling straight towards it...

The RECESSION is just beginning.
We will be in a full RECESSION by starting of 2023. You have layoffs starting, markets crashing. Etc etc.

They created all this and now can't fix it. Good job clowns

[litachambers]

There won't be a true recession for you, Brandon, but there will be one for the majority of us. Grrrr!

Nine words which are most horriable to hear “is I’m from the government and I’m here to help”

Of course if he can't handle a bike .. Daaa...🤔

[andypozuelos]

[lakecountynaturalist]

He is trying to make us believe it isn't so. My empty bank account says it is.

[..feb.]

Just like how Biden told everyone the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan is not inevitable! 😂

[marjoriebreslin]

We miss TRUMP .. $1.85 a gallon gas or mean tweets.🤔fjb

I was about to say that if the government says it’s not… it is… but apparently everyone is in agreement already judging by the comments. FJB
