Small-Business Optimism About Economic Conditions Jumps Most Since 1980

Optimism among America's small businesses soared in December by the most since 1980 as expectations about the economy’s prospects improved dramatically in the aftermath of the presidential election.
The National Federation of Independent Business's index jumped 7.4 points last month to 105.8, the highest since the end of 2004, from 98.4. While seven of the 10 components increased in December, 73 percent of the monthly advance was due to more upbeat views about the outlook for sales and the economy, the Washington-based group said.

To put this into perspective, if the normal low level of business confidence under Obama were represented by a three pound bag of dicks Obama had to eat, this sudden spike in optimism would be represented by a bag of dicks Obama has to eat approximately the size of Columbus, Ohio, including outlying suburbs.

19 As an owner of small businesses I can attest 0that my optimism is reaching stratospheric levels, and from what I hear from friends its the same all over.

Getting rid of the wet blanket of progressive chains (regulation, taxes, constant nagging) holding us all back is going to help the economy grow.

community purely to screw over a rival. Damage has been done. Serious

damage.

Newt defended him, saying that it is one's civic responsibility to turn such material over to the FBI. He has a point. Was it was the FBI that leaked it? If so, the leaker needs to be found and flayed alive.

136 Libertarianwannabe, it's a continuum of sorts, a spectrum.

In some situations, large corporations are playing defense, trying to buy political goodwill - or exemptions - from govt. interference.

In others, it's outright rent-seeking - using govt. power to directly enrich yourself or burden your competition.

And of course, as the size/power of govt. grows, it becomes ..... both. I think we're clearly in that phase in most large industries. Which is kinda the best blazing illustration of the pernicious effect of large govt. and intrusive govt.

Keep stocking up on ammo and spending time at the range and exercising. But also get out there and support the people that are doing right.

Find the next candidate to support removing the RINO, and/or that Democrat. For me, that means that nevertrump pussy, Eric "holier than thou" Paulsen, and Governor Little Marky Dayton.

Posted by: rd at January 11, 2017 05:30 PM (iT57s)

174 As my son pointed out to me, Trump has been a public figure for over 40 years. He's been probed by the tabloids for all of that time: by people who would pay very well for just that sort of dirt. If it were out there, it would have come out long ago.

Trump is, arguably, the most thoroughly vetted candidate in US history. Maybe not vetted by the "real" journalists, but certainly by people who are very good at doing what journalists used to do: Hunting down a story, getting the facts straight (if only to avoid libel suits), then publishing.

So I say: Until they show me rock-solid evidence, I say that this is all bullshit. Every crumb of it. And the people disseminating it should be scorned and ostracized by every citizen with an atom of concern for our nation.
