Businesses cannot make long term plans because because this asshole kenyan has put so many dumbass ideas forward that just destroy US competetiveness: 1. Obamacrapcare aka The Insurance Company Bill - Massive increases in insurance premiums and requirements to cover many extra employees.
2. Tax increases - these "rich" that make over $250,000 that the Kenyan wants to raise taxes on are mostly small business owners who file individual tax returns for their small business. Obama is taxing away jobs these businesses might provide.
3. Cap and tax - Obama has put forth multiple schemes which are driving energy costs higher. Cap and tax is a WMD hanging over the heads of business owners.
I could go on but these 3 are devastating enough.
Businesses need a predictable, stable business environment which enables them to compete with our global competitors. The DemoCong could care less about that. Its like they want US companies to fail.
