Eh?
Sure, there's a way to defend the Dali-esque logic of that, but only for Econogeeks who keep a copy of Samuelson on their night stands. It probably means that the economy sucks and will continue to do so but isn't sucking badly enough this week to meet whatever offical definition of "recession" Geithner is using these days.
I think the writer was simply obeying an old cub-reporter notion that obscurity is a sure sign of a subtle and profound mind. Good copy desks killed crap like that immediately. The crusty old fart in the green eye shades probably would have changed it to "You're Still getting Screwed, Only Slower."
(Ms. Whiskbottom in Standards & Practices would have bowdlerized it a bit.)
