Slightly old article written in the last quarter of 2014
Economically, President Obama’s administration has outperformed President Reagan’s in all commonly watched categories. Simultaneously the current administration has reduced the deficit, which skyrocketed under Reagan. Additionally, Obama has reduced federal employment, which grew under Reagan (especially when including military personnel,) and truly delivered a “smaller government.” Additionally, the current administration has kept inflation low, even during extreme international upheaval, failure of foreign economies (Greece) and a dramatic slowdown in the European economy.
Update was added to this article about a month ago: U.S. economy adds 295,000 new jobs in February. Extends string of 200k+ new jobs for 12 consecutive months, the best jobs growth performance since 1994-1995. Unemployment falls to 5.5%, a post-recession low.
