Real GDP 2007-2023, 16 years, compound annual growth rate: 1.905%.
All the other years, 1929-2007: 3.448%.
We're behind that by almost 45%.
Compare the 16 years of The Great Depression and WWII, 1929-1945: 4.743%.
Or the 16 years prior to The Great Recession, 1991-2007: 3.253%.
This is bad, but you knew that.
