Not so fast, folks. Here come the layoffs. Shareholders of publicly traded companies and small business owners will not stand for a management team that can't produce profits. Wall Street and Main Street always make cuts in payroll when earnings aren't there. The cost of having employees will tip the balance in their decision making. The logical thing to do will be to either raise prices, which their competitors won't allow them to do, or reduce the highest cost of ANY business...LABOR. Some will layoff and others will achieve lower payroll liability through attrition. Once the layoffs begin...the economy will continue to gradually slow and grind to a crawl. Consumer spending will wane. Either college grads, experienced workers or a combination of both will bear the punishment of a political philosophy that can't force large and small business owners to hire in a free market system. So...the president will believe he has his mandate to plow ahead. But then again...the true representation of the broader American electorate, the House of Representatives, has their mandate manifested by the locals who voted to keep them in office. And...their mandate is to block this president's agenda or be replaced in two years by those who will. The net of it all? There was hope and a genuine opportunity for real change. Unfortunately, a hesitant electorate was only willing to go half way. Hence the perils of indecision will now unfold. The political finger pointing will continue and most likely intensify. And rightfully so, because neither political party/philosophy will or can afford to compromise in light of the favor granted to them by the electorate. In the meanwhile,with the assistance of a complicit and selectively reporting press, our economy will slowly and painfully grind to a halt. Instead of prioritizing the implementation of effective economic policies, this over promising under performing administration will concentrate it's focus on developing a political strategy that NEXT TIME will be more successful in penetrating and dividing pockets of voters within the local electorate.
