    The GDP is still growing, just not quite as fast as it was last year

    In the way that our entire economy is based on measuring itself, not growing as fast as last year is considered complete failure

    the turmoil in the markets is gone for now

    The stock market =/= the health of the economy. Obviously the market being bad is not good, but the market being good does not mean things arent bad
