there has been no effort to help business in general and small businesses in specific. And yes the increased regulations and the uncertainty definitely incent the small business owner to wait and see.

The Obama administration is very well reputed to not be favoring business.

The only thing I conclude is that since there are no business people in the WH they do not know what it takes to run one, hence the have no idea what it is they do that stifles them either.

The 3+ year track record to date substantiates the following equation:

Obama + do nothing congress = Uncertainty
