While the United States has seen some modest gains as of March 2016, there are significant areas of concern for the global economy. Other important nations are having some continued issues (China is declining in production). China has seen some unique ways of preventing (shutting down it's stock market on 2 occasions) further loss by market manipulation and the European markets are having continued banking/monetary issues.
While the top economies are hurting in today's global economy, the U.S. economic issues should not to be taken lightly. The U.S. has a lot of problems with retail sales declining, a new real estate crisis (record foreclosures to come soon), corporate profits are declining (i.e. Apple) and importantly a GDP that somehow keeps getting worse and amazingly over looked (maybe not a surprise that the U.S. government doesn't want to spook investors).

With all this being said, we have a much needed change of stimulus. The stimulus required is that of growing a middle class that has continued to decline due to inflation and continued mass globalization (corporations sending jobs abroad). The only candidate running for president who is speaking out on this issue (For of 25 years now - verify this on youtube) is Bernie Sanders. We have a person that has seen the transfer of jobs to appease corporations, while continuing to send jobs other countries. Corporate greed is the center of this issue, but a president (has not worked with congress) hasn't proposed a balance that would stop jobs leaving the country.
Here is a link of what the GDP was for Q4 of 2015. It is overlooked by the government that it continues to drop by the month so far in 2016.
