Evidence the Economy is Shrinking?

The topic of my argument covers the issue of whether or not our economy is getting better or worse. The debate is between Megyn Kelly and radio host Nancy Skinner. They appeared on America Live with the Fox News network.
I am analyzing the clip from 00:50 seconds to 3:00 minutes. In the debate Megyn Kelly is saying that the economy is not improving at all. Megyn hints the economy may be in worse condition then it was before. Megyn also believes that President Obama is not being realistic when he makes public statements on how well the government is improving our nations economy. Nancy Skinner says that there is proof that our economy is getting better, but that it just isn't happening in as fast of a pace that the public would like.
In my opinion this argument is in critical condition. It starts off with a complex question fallacy when Kelly asks "What happened to the summer of recovery?". She asks this question with a tone that implies a negative answer. The answer being implied is that the government has not lived up to their promise of fixing America's economy. Later Megyn Kelly admits that she doesn't know that much about our nation's economy. She says " I don't know a lot about the economy. But this is what they say" Kelly then goes on to read negative phrases that each individual economist has to say. Some of the comments listed by the random economists were: "retail sales are down, national trade is hurting, the monthly unemployment rate is disturbing". None of the things she lists disprove that the economy hasn't improved at all. This is an example of hasty generalization.
When Nancy Skinner goes on to defend the improvement of the economy no one really explains how Nancy is qualified to speak on the subject. Because these two women have no real knowledge about what is going on this argument also has a fallacy of appeal to unqualified authority.
