But thanks to our governments reckless spending that has China and Russia calling for a new global currency I feel that we have huge inflation ahead combined with huge taxes. We keep hearing that the economy will rebound in the retail sector but as a small manufacturer who both wholesales and retails, I know that the credit freeze is alive and well on Main Street. Small businesses rely on credit to purchase inventory in advance of the season so for the first time in over half a century we are seeing some accounts request consignment. Also having the potentially devastating cap and trade looming is not helping the summer retail seasons. People know this would raise the prices of just about everything and health care would mean that the government would control 50% of the economy. So with all that looming, it is difficult for even a hopeless optimist to feel confidence. I feel as though our government is waging a war on the private economy and the people haven't woken to the reality yet that it is the private economy that has to revive the economy despite the obstacles that government is placing in its path.
