| HappySqurriel said: One of the big questions with when we will see growth is what is the driving factor that is producing the growth in the economy ... With higher taxes (associated to out of control spending), higher costs associated to energy (from cap and trade), increased barriers to importing or exporting goods (due to increased protectionism), more powerful unions, and a heavy weight regulatory system the United States is becomming a far less competitive country for companies; and it seems likely that any economic growth will be matched or outpaced by companies leaving or going bankrupt under the new economic environment. |
I agree with most or all of that. By the way, higher energy costs is not just due to cap and trade, also due to the price of oil which will probably keep being high (especially when an economic recovery starts).
