Election Year

2012 a presidential election year, what will this mean to the economy?

With this election year, we have some interesting things that may happen. If we get a new president, I feel we will see a huge jump in the economy, if not it will be more of the same sluggish economy. There is still great fear out there in the business world, and from my current industry of the automotive supplier side, things are not going as planed.

We are at about 75% of what we had planned for this year. Still not growing from the customers as they had hoped. Now we are starting to see some of the same things that happened back in 2008, banks not loaning for operational cash flow. Vendors not getting paid and customers not paying for the services.

There has been a lot more truck driving jobs being posted, then again is this just part of the baby boomer retirement, or CSA 2010. It does seem like many companies that I talk to these days are interesting in my services, but more or less just trying to build a pool until after the election.

We shall see after the first Tuesday in November.
