WASHINGTON (AP) — The recession that ended three years ago this summer has been followed by the feeblest economic recovery since the Great Depression.

Since World War II, 10 U.S. recessions have been followed by a recovery that lasted at least three years. An Associated Press analysis shows that by just about any measure, the one that began in June 2009 is the weakest.

One big difference between WWII and today. The people of the U.S. were allowed to rebuild this country and that they did...........with an average 8th grade education. Match that you bunch of educated idiot professors.

There is nothing wrong with the economy that expensive government programs can't prolong.

Why are we letting them get away with the tern “economic recovery” -

WHERE is there any recovery?

It’s worse than it was 3 years ago - many more people out of works, millions more on welfare.

WHERE’S ANY SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT - aka ‘recovery.’?

Same old tactic - lie lie lie.

and WE LET THEM

FDR had a lot of help from Hoover, whose policies were, contrary to popular belief, hugely interventionist:

It’s the “weakest” recovery because it’s no recovery at all. The key statistics denoting the health of the economy have been pencil-whipped by a compliant gub’mint to make it look like a recovery, but it’s a pig with lipstick.

“WHERE is there any recovery?”

Its simple really. Borrow $1 trillion from the Chinese...or about 6% of our GDP.

Next, ‘use this to ‘stimulate’ the economy into 2% growth....so we won’t technically be in a recession.

Finally, claim the economy is ‘recovering’....and ignore that $600 million just went down the rabbit hole.
