Did you ever think that G N P could have been better if the current dictator oh I'm sorry president didn't have so many regulations put on business that our Gross National Product would have been higher than 1.6% . Now come on the more you hold someone back the poorer they preform. Be honest with yourself there has been no encouragement for business to expand . Smart business needs to have a somewhat of predictable idea of what to expect of tomorrow before they invest in today .
