I've always felt like the GDP is a horrible barometer for the health of the economy. I believe about 1/3rd of GDP is government spending. So spending ourselves further into debt tells the "economists" that we're economically healthy.
It'd be like back when I was married to my ex-wife, if I had tried to say that our family finances were just fine because she was running up tons of credit card debt.
