How would you measure the economy...if not GDP increases/decreases and employment.

In the 2000s....manufacturing declined, wholesale trade declined, retail trade was flat, unemployment rose, stock market dropped,....resulting in the worst recession in 75 years.

What indicators do you need ?

Or better yet, do you think calling a program a failure before it evens have a chance to succeed is helpful...despite the fact that many economists have said it has helped?

Or characterizing political leaders you dont like as Nazis, whores, cunts is helpful?

Or never offering a positive, constructive contribution to a discussion is helpful?
