		<description>I think most small business professionals think business conditions are good when they can make payroll week after week :)

Seriously, the economy is humming along quite nicely in some markets (i.e. Wichita) and really sputtering in others, like Arizona and California. I consider it more of a &quot;bubble correction&quot; than anything else out there.

Doesn&#039;t the economy always &quot;stink&quot; in election years?</description>

		<description>An interesting disconnect - &#039;my business is doing well but the economy is lousy&#039;.  I wonder if this is keeping businesses from investing and expanding.  As a result, I wonder if a PERCEPTION of hard times ends up CREATING hard times.</description>
