Expectations of weaker economy unites small business owners

FILE- In this Oct. 28, 2017, file photo the storefront window of a portrait studio is lit up along a downtown street at dusk in Lumberton, N.C. Several surveys and economic reports released in recent weeks show that company owners have more trust in their businesses than the national or local economy, and that they’re running their businesses more conservatively in response to uncertainty about overall business conditions.

In a survey by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and MetLife taken in January, 53 percent of the 1,001 randomly selected small business owners questioned said they believe the national economy is in good shape, down from 58 percent in a survey taken in the last quarter of 2018. Fifty-three percent said their local economy is in goodA small business index that accompanied the survey fell to 65.6 from 69.3 in the fourth quarter.

Hiring has also slowed, according to the ISM and to a report from payroll provider ADP, which said its small business customers added just 12,000 jobs in February, down from 107,000 in January.

The uneasiness they feel is brought on by the idea that the Democrats will find away to turn America into a socialist country and they will have no control over their business and everything they worked for will be given out to the Unwilling to work crowd under the Green deal.

There's always naysayers. Can't do anything about at their level.
