Again since you're obviously simple...growth of 1.7% a quarter when there's savage austerity, universal healthcare, a massive social security net and 3 years till we have a balanced budget...
America has ever mounting debt, no deficit reduction plan, very little in the way of the services we have and an ineffectual Government that cannot decide what road to take.
I'm not throwing stones nor criticising your country, just it needs to get its shit together soon or else:
1: Another ratings drop
2: Another debt ceiling increase
And
3: An even weaker dollar.
That's not "throwing stones" that's calling it how it is man.
