What exactly is going well? 3 years ago the economy was growing - jobs where increasing rapidly - farmers where selling soybeans - the military was building new housing and schools for troop's families which translates into local jobs. The debt was large from fighting a major recession but flattening. Now - our debt is accelerating (tax cuts), yields keep inverting (10yr at a higher percentage than 30 yr). The stock market has been a roller coaster since 2018 as changes in gov't policy started to take hold. Job creation flat and will most likely turn negative. Don't listen to the media - learn to read the numbers yourself.
