Some parts of the business are good and some are slowing. I can point to some things locally, but, from the conversations I am having with a few others in our industry, it seems, some of the policies can be laid on the feet of the Federal Government and the indecision the policies are causing. AND this is all before we even begin to factor in the Shutdown. Frankly, Long term stability is the most important thing to big business and small. While every business wants to be hugely successful, most owners will gladly accept stability over volatility.
