Uncertainty from Dem Policies Forces Small Businesses to Halt Growth, New Hiring
A Recent Survey Says 72 Percent of Small Businesses Not Hiring or Laying Off Workers

DC DEMOCRATS STILL DON’T GET IT: Dem Nancy Pelosi boasts that Obama’s policies, like his government healthcare takeover and taxpayer-funded nearly one trillion dollar stimulus, have encouraged job growth:

“‘President Obama has been a job creator since Day One,’ [said Pelosi].” (Nancy Pelosi Statement on John King, USA, CNN, 1/24/2012)

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)
