The American economy is NOT going from bad to worse, it's actually right around where it always is.
There's a very good blog entitled "Back Talk: Americans hate their fabulous economy" The link is below, here is an excerpt that answers your question.
"Growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is, perhaps, the most basic measure of the health of any economy. A growth of 1% is often described as anemic, 2% is so so, 3% is good and 4% is excellent. Let's take a look at that measure during the Clinton and Bush eras (I got these numbers here):
(editor's note: There's a graph in the article here, you can see it on the website, showing 2004 and 2006 around 4% growth, 2005 at 3.25%, 2003 at 2.5%, 2002 at 1.5% and 2001 at .75%)
Give the man credit: GDP growth was very good under Bill Clinton (averaging 3.7%). It took a hit during the early years of the Bush administration, but it has snapped back smartly since, right back to where it was during the Clinton years (the 2006 value is an average of the first 2 quarters of the year). Why did things go south for a while? First, the stock market bubble popped. The Nasdaq's long slide (i.e., the dot-com crash) began in March of 2000 and continued until October of 2002. That sucked a lot of life out of the economy. Second, September 11, 2001 happened. In light of those two unforeseen calamities, it's amazing how well the economy has been doing in 2004, 2005 and so far in 2006. Whether or not Bush's policies are responsible for the impressive recovery is a matter of debate, but it is clear that, at a minimum, his policies have not choked off economic growth. Give that man credit, too. Except no one does. Despite the fact that GDP growth is right back to where it was during the Clinton era, Americans don't feel the same way about the economy, to say the least." |

It is an outsiders view. Lot of wasteful expenditure is being done and these are borne by the people and business houses in America resulting in reduction in money circulation for development activities.

Actually, U. S. economy growth was pretty good thanks to the Republican tax cut on investors.
The problem is that the standard of living doesn't improve. On the contrary, it gets worse. Salaries don't rise, the minimum wage hasn't been increased for 10 years or so, and even some benefits are taken away.
A main reason is the import of cheap Asian products, and U. S. factories can't compete with China in prices. |

It is cyclical. The natural order of the economy is to expand and contract. It is also affected by the monetary policy of whatever administration is in charge. How much money is pushed into or pulled out of the economy will influence what happens. Each person views these changes in a different light. Personally, I think the economy is hanging in there. Others say recession.
Don’t listen to talk about how our country is ruining things by being on a war footing. It is part of the picture, but not a very large part. |

You are sadly mistaken. The US economy is growing, and has been growing at a healthy pace the past 3 years. The GDP growth,(which is how Economists rate the health of a nation's economy) over the past 6 years has been greater than any other industrialized country. The US produces 28% of the world's goods and services ( more in one week than China and India do in an entire year). 36% of the worlds entire wealth is controlled by Americans. |
