I don’t think small businesses have to intentionally lay off people to make a political point. I think they are going to have a terrible time trying to keep ANY employees (in other words, stay in business) given this country’s economic path. The left is really good at tearing things down. They aren’t so good at building things back up.
Exactly. Myself and everyone that I know are just hunkering down and trying to survive. All expansion plans, investments in new markets or product/services are on HOLD until this passes (if it ever does prior to a complete re-set). The "real" unemployment figures are staggering (the bogus crap that BLS publishes doesn't come close to accurately stating the dire straights that we are in).
