Problem: too many dollars chasing too few goods

Solution: more dollars

I mean that's not new, nor is it a redefinition. Two quarters of negative GDP growth *isn't* a recession even though that seems to be the shorthand people use.

Q1 GDP only fell 1.5% and consumption and investment both increased. The decline in GDP was because of an increase in imports and a decrease in government spending. Unemployment is 3.6% and there's a massive labor shortage. I'm not sure what this economy is, but it's not an open and shut case that it's currently a recession. I think we'll get a Fed-driven disinflation recession soon enough, but I don't think it's crazy to suggest that this isn't a recession.

Obviously you are right on both accounts. It's not the technical definition, but it is the common parlance, how the majority of people would define it, and the very act of making that distinction is gonna give the "depends on what the definition of 'is' is" vibe.
