From the article:
When compared with those in the past, the Obama recovery has been the slowest and weakest since the Great Depression. As The Wall Street Journal notes, the average quarterly GDP growth for all post-1960 recoveries was 4.1 percent, with total growth of 21.1 percent. Compare that to the anemic Obama recovery, which posted an average of 2.2 percent quarterly growth and a total of just 11.1 percent—about half the historic average.
Even more marked is the difference between the Obama recovery and the 1982–1983 Reagan recovery, which resulted in GDP growth of 23.1 percent over 17 quarters (25.6 percent for the entire recovery). According the Joint Economic Committee, this translates to a growth deficit of $2 trillion between Obama’s recovery and that under President Reagan. That is $2 trillion more that would be in the hands of U.S. businesses and workers today, when—despite the Obama supporters’ cheery sentiment—many American families are still aching financially.
