   I wasn't redefining anything here. I repeated the standard definition of   
   recession. The problem is that there are no good terms that refer to the   
   time that the economy is still rebounding from the recession, when there   
   is still far higher than normal unemployment.

   When there are massive deficits and unemployment is below 6%, I'll be   
   concerned.
