Well yeah. Who gives a fuck about a 2% increase in the GDP? Prices are high and wages are low.

Housing (homes and apartments) is either in yet another bubble, or I guess just going to permanently remain absurdly high, slowly filtering more and more people into homelessness and death.
Personal debt levels are astoundingly bad. The average US renter credit score is 638, and most places won’t even consider you if it is below 620.
The medical system remains ruinously expensive and corrupt.
The proportion of those who are not counted as unemployed, but who are not working, despite being working age, climbs higher and higher. (Labor Force Participation Rate).
College costs climb further and further, offering less and less likelihood of an actual decent paying job.
Wealth inequality is the worst in the known economic history of the world.
