Forget GDP as a measuring stick, it's a contrary indicator when the government is borrowing and spending trillions we don't have. It counts deficit spending as a positive when it's actually a negative. Re-adjusted, the economy is in poor shape now and getting worse quite quickly.

basically we're about where we were after the Vietnam War debt came in and oil prices tripled under Carter. Stagflation is the current reality. And lots more corruption that in Carter's days when we had a relatively honest, efficient government. Carter also cared about energy independence, which Bushies do not.
