First Things, First - Focus on the Economy!

A recent newspaper poll, dated March 24, 2010, indicated that Americans’ Number 1 Concern is the Economy – not Healthcare! Another survey published in the March edition of the National Real Estate Investor indicated that “poor sales” is the Number 1 Reason that companies are not hiring, and the Number 2 Reason is “government policy, red tape, and bureaucracy”. We have already seen that, after the recent passage of the “Healthcare Monstrosity” three major companies announced the downside for their respective businesses, as well as the costs of implementing the new requirements. Please click on the link to a five-page summary of “Healthcare Bill Information”  for more information.

I believe, as the polls state, “First Things, First”! Pay attention to the economy, and when we get to the point where we are ready to begin hiring, we will see the effects of the healthcare bill. I know there are some who say regulations coming from the coming from the Feds are hampering our growth, but it is my contention that if we were all making more money, we would grow in spite of the problems being created by this administration.
