Billboard Pokes Fun At Biden: Read My Lips, No New Recession
Washington, D.C. (July 28, 2022)—Tomorrow, the Job Creators Network (JCN) is putting up a new billboard in Times Square poking fun at attempts by the Biden administration to redefine “recession.” Newly released government data reveals that U.S. gross domestic product (GDP)—or the value of all goods and services produced over a year—declined for a second consecutive quarter on an annual basis. The environment now meets a commonly used definition of a recession.
The billboard is headlined, “READ MY LIPS: NO NEW RECESSION”—referring to the famous line delivered by George H.W. Bush regarding taxes. The billboard goes on to say, “IT’S THE ECONOMY STUPID!” and features a picture of President Joe Biden. View the billboard below:
Alfredo Ortiz, JCN President and CEO, released the following statement:
“This week’s GDP report confirms what Americans already knew—the economy is in a recession. Working families and small businesses are already feeling the squeeze as the economy slows and prices rise at the quickest pace in four decades. Unfortunately, the Biden administration is in denial and continues to do everything it can to message the recession out of existence.”
