As historic eras go, I'll agree with you that *seldom* has the entire world seen such strong economic growth.

But --- unlike recent decades --- the US's relative economic performance is LAGGING... lagging many of our competitors, and lagging the global average.

(FYI, if you'd prefer to look at the equity markets instead of GNP growth rates... you'll see there that the US's markets [since the end of the last recession from, say, 2002...] rank in total return in the BOTTOM 20% or so for market returns. Not really anything to 'write home about', unless 'bottom fifth' sounds good to you....)
