It is not possible to disable downturns. It sounds different if framed as the longest economic bender in history. The hangover is likely to be brutal.

Alternatively one might argue that what is happening is a kind of bifurcation. The wealthy and well measured get an ongoing expansion while the poor, shiftless, and unrecorded fall through the cracks at alarming rates. We didn't have homeless families in significant numbers when I grew up and now they are pervasive. That is pretty poor real performance for a best ever economy.
