The debate over the state of the economy has quieted. With the midterm elections done, the side claiming that a recession had already begun has less need to make its case, while the other side has less need to refute it. But even if the politically obsessed have turned away from such matters, economics still matters and so also does the parsing of the arguments used in that mostly political debate. The picture such an effort paints is far from upbeat.
