The “Uncertainty” principal – What they really mean

We keep hearing about how “uncertainty” (the implication being that it’s the result of Obama policies) is causing our economy to remain in the doldrums. But when big business and politicians speak about uncertainty, they’re not talking about how they wish they could build a big widget factory in America and hire a bunch of Americans to work there but are just not sure what mean-ole’ Obama is going to do to them if they try. No. What they mean is that they’re planning on offshoring facilities to India and China or some other shameful and harmful business practice but they’re afraid that if Obama gets re-elected there might actually be consequences to what they’re planning.
