This is a weak economy if you're a laborer and not a capitalist. Overall, it's still been a VERY strong economy since '73. The US has been either first or second in GDP growth EVERY YEAR FOR 40 years! China has been killing it recently, but over the given time period, the US is still by far the best:

Life for the laborer has been under systemic attack since Reagan, but the US economy as a whole has been doing swimmingly.
