Also, why is consumer and business confidence low?

Maybe because the government promised everything would be all fixed and the stimulus was going to put us on the right track...

and it didn't.

So rather then move on and grow the economy...

everyone has waited, and is still waiting for government to fix it.

Which is kind of a problem when you need people to NOT wait around.

Why is business confidence low?

Because Obama's government has significantly increased regulation of almost every market due to things such as Obamacare. If you are a business owner and have a lot of money available for growth/expansion, but are unsure if the government may make a law that will hurt your bottomline significantly....What are you going to do? You are going to play very conservatively. Unfortunately, this administration will not "fix it". Until they are out of the way, we won't see the economy come back. Not trying to be a Dem-basher, as I am unsure if any Republican will get it (maybe Perry would since he's overseen the Texan boom) either.

Meant to say consumer confidence.  I mean, when I hear "We are going to fix the economy."  I think "Cool" and hold on to my money until it's fixed, happy that it should only be a short time problem.

Maybe it's just me though.
