Did you read the State of American Business special edition that was put out by the US Chamber of Commerce yesterday? It was a great article! you can read the whole message at www.uschamber.com .True, it started out with the down side of the economy, and how the chamber economists anticipate the 4th quarter of 2008 will show a GDP decline of at least 5% and the first quarter of 2009 to decline by more than 3%, but what was uplifting was the positive note on American people and business, which I quote from the special edition: " but no matter what the current problems are, we must not forget that the US still has the strongest most competitive economy in the world. This is due, in large part to our strong entrepreneurial spirit. Americans aren't afraid to take a risk: when we fall, we simply pick ourselves up and try again. our nations advantages are numerous, we have the best universities, the most productive workers and the most innovative companies. This is a strong foundation to build upon. We are living in a time of great change and uncertainty. If recent history has shown one thing, it's to never bet against America."
This is good to remember ourselves as we face clients who are losing their homes, jobs, retirement money or confidence in our economy. Clients often look to us to be their guiding light in this confusion, so know that the US Chamber of Commerce is actively pursuing Washington law makers with some great and practical suggestions for turning the economy around!
