Forbes: Obama Outperforms Reagan On Jobs, Growth And Investing
Adam Hartung

“What’s now clear is that the Obama administration policies have outperformed the Reagan administration policies for job creation and unemployment reduction.
Even though Reagan had the benefit of a growing Boomer class to ignite economic growth, while Obama has been forced to deal with a retiring workforce developing special needs. During the eight years preceding Obama there was a net reduction in jobs in America. We now are rapidly moving toward higher, sustainable jobs growth.”<snip>
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.
