MADE IN WASHINGTON, DC: According to a new survey, small business owners have halted creating new jobs due to a lack of confidence in the economy and lingering uncertainty created from Washington Democrats’ failed economic policies:


“Instead, 64 percent plan to stand pat at current staffing levels, while just 8 percent are expecting to trim workers in the coming months.

“When asked what is holding them back, uncertainty was the most common explanation. Fifty-two percent of those surveyed said they were not hiring because they weren’t confident in the recovery, with another 33 percent pointed to uncertainty driven by Washington.” (Peter Schroeder, “Survey: Uncertainty, gas prices slowing hiring by small business, The Hill, 4/16/2012)
