Business picked back up for us about 2012. BO had a re-election to win. It decreased again in 2014. Last December it fell to levels worse than 2009. My personal theory was that after the 2014 mid terms were behind the Pharoah, his attitude was a combination of who cares, scorched earth, and punishment to the middle class people of this country. He had a phone and a pen.
Just a personal perspective from someone highly impacted by the economic policies, or lack there of, of this administration.
Thanks for the additional insight. I have been watching “macro” influences for quite a while. During my entire adult life, every time we have a new administration, business slows down for 3-6 months. Business hates change. They just finish re-tooling for the current administration and get it under control, then everything changes. They stop, hold their breath and then resume business activity when they understand the new environment.
This is the first time I’ve seen business and prosperity increase at the mere promise of a new administration. It’s going to be a wild ride and a very promising one!
