By now you’re familiar with the media pattern of explaining how bad things happening could have a positive impact on your life, and you might have noticed that angle only seems to be taken when there’s a Democrat in office.
A column in the Washington Post has been spotted doing some heavy lifting for the Biden White House when it comes to the topic of economic recession:

For some reason we’re guessing that headline might be a little different if all this was happening and Trump was still in office.

And yes, that’s a real headline and article, which begins this way:
In his first inaugural address in March 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt said: “So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”
It was the Great Depression. The unemployment rate was over 25 percent. An estimated 12 million people were out of work, about one-fourth of the civilian labor force.
[…]
Fast forward to now, and as bad as things are — rising interest rates, high inflation, stock market tumbling — the economy hasn’t imploded as it did during the Great Depression.I have to say this because, as Roosevelt pointed out, fear itself can lead to actions that worsen your finances. While many people are hurting, there may be ways to cushion the downside.
Here are seven silver linings if we are heading into a recession…

So basically we’ve gone from “Build Back Better” to “hey, at least the economy hasn’t completely imploded yet as it did during the Great Depression.” Thanks President Biden!
The left can no longer deny that their failed policies aren't wreaking financial havoc on hard working middle class Americans. So naturally they now need to pretend that a recession is actually a great thing and will somehow actually help people.https://t.co/XMvqwPc3GC

At first we were a little surprised to discover that Rubin wasn’t the author of the above recession spin, but the Biden administration will nevertheless award it a few social credit points.
