Madonne! What are you talking about "allow"? The President has no authority not to allow.

Today the hand of government is all over the economy — from money and banking to transportation to manufacturing to agriculture to insurance to basic research to world trade. Government regulations hinder businesses and individuals. Red tape prevents entrepreneurs from pursuing a course of action that will restore economic growth and prosperity.

That's right SB, they're not spending and they're not going to spend because they don't have a flip of confidence in what this President's doing. That's why he has to go IMO.
