Small Business hiring almost Non Existent, with the Economy as it is Today

Small businesses seem too still be afraid to grow. Job growth seems to have definitely stalled and these small business owners are not willing to hire on more people. Economic uncertainty and the lack of sales are two of the main reasons why small business owners are reluctant to hire. Is there another reason? The answer may be that in a survey 8 out of 10 small business owners say the U.S. economy is "on the wrong track". Why is this news so important"? Small business firms provide just over half of private sector jobs. In the past 15 years, small businesses have created 64% of net new jobs.
This may  be just part of the reason, but the U.S. workforce seems to not be too willing to accept change, as skilled workers in one specific profession are not willing to change and pick new skills that provide more opportunity. The idea is that they 'wish' the economy to get better, and seriously believe that it will happen soon. President Obama told the American people that the  economy will not fix itself over night, but now it may be increasingly difficult within the next two weeks when the U.S. is fixing to go into default.
Really?!?!?!?  Will the U.S. government go into default? Anyone in their right mind will tell you NO, but for most people, the way the U.S. Congress has failed to act to date regarding the Debt Ceiling, no wonder why so many people are very skeptical of the U.S. future.
And then I may be wrong? Maybe the U.S. Congressmen will not act in time, and allow the U.S. to default on it's loans and push hardship on millions of Americans. If you ask me, not raising the debt ceiling is not an option. The United States got itself in mess thanks to the very hard core conservative principles of the Republican party during the 8 years President Bush was the President of the United States.
So now, what do you think? Are you ignorant enough to think that this Democratic President would allow such self destruction to occur within the United States, under his watch?
Wake up and smell the roses! The Debt Ceiling will be increased, but now the question will it be raised enough so that it will make a difference?!
