It is no secret that I believe that one reason businesses have not been willing to take risks and grow over the past several years has been a generous dosage of uncertainty, courtesy primarily of the federal government.
However, recently I read an article that challenged my thinking. Perhaps the uncertainty isn't the main factor businesses are frozen, perhaps it is the certainty.
Uncertainty still exists, but Obamacare is certainty, political financial favoritism is certainty, increased future taxes are almost certainty, etc.... While businesses are still nervous about what they don't know, they are perhaps more worried about what they do know. They things they have seen with their very own eyes.
