Greg is right to point out the silliness of the name given that the provisions of the bill are only tangentially about inflation.
Btw I'll be using his textbook in the fall. Macroeconomics Eleventh Edition. Out of curiosity I checked out the definition of recession in the glossary. This is what I found:
Recession: A sustained period of falling income.
Short and not bad as a definition goes.
It should be kept in mind, however, that Greg is an academic and expert. A possible future Nobelist imo. Which would put him squarely in the elite academic and expert sphere.
