Most economists I've read about are cautiously optimistic about future trending. Most people don't see it because the current positive trends are either future-looking or coincidental factors that most people either overlook or don't see in their everyday lives.
I have yet to hear from an economist that is more than minimally concerned about a double-dip recession. Of course, many of the economists I read about are Canadian. But they do speak about the American economy as well.
