One statement in this report:
While the NEBR determined the George W. Bush's first recession
actually began in March 2001, the history of U.S. GDP shows that the
traditional definition of recession - two straight quarters of GDP
decline - was never met during either the last year of the Clinton
presidency or the first of Bush's tenu

That is just more of what *is* is... While the definition of recession
might not have been met until March, but the downturn started well
before that...

Nope. Has nothing to do with what is is. The stock market flucuates on
a daily, weekly monthly, yearly basis. That is not a recession. A
recession IS a recession.
