"[What] yesterday's numbers did was increased the probability of a hard landing," Rattner said during an interview with MSNBC.

The U.S. entered a recession in July after two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The White House and Democrats continue to claim the U.S. in not "actually" in a recession, much like they claimed inflation didn't initially exist before becoming a "manageable" or "transitory" problem.

"Temporary"
"Transitory"
"Not long lasting"
"Putin's fault"
"Zero percent inflation"
