Hi John I was down the same road you are. I was a Small GC with one full time employee, one of my first cusines and some part timers as we needed them. We did home remodels/restorations small scale comercial steel buildings, and ag pole buildings. In Nov. 2008 We had customers cancling projects and asking for their deposits back. My wife and I lived on a credit card. Thankfully we had a freezer full of vegies and were able to enjoy venison that my son and daughter-inlaw shot with their bows. In the spring I quickly accepted a salaried job to manage a new endever selling renewable energy equipment. The startup business is gaining momentom, but the average Joe Worker can't aford the upfront cost, and inspite of large tax credits, Federal and State. The lack of jobs in this area, ( no anual state budget passed and no money allocated for any construction projects) we only have a few who can afford to invest in the future. Here in the North East of this country where Manufacturing was King , factories no longer exist. The buildings are skelitons and a burdon to local municipalities.Our water, sewarge, and highway systems are deteriorating, with no money allocated to upgrade them. The Idiot politicians in this state and Washington, Have catored to Labor Unions and Banks demanding financial goals and DEC regs. that stiffled US business. Now we have minimal manufacturing, and because of the internet, ( which was suposed to be the new base of our countries economy), Ha Ha,.we are doomed to be a second world country. Our countries educational system is a joke and our solution is to throw more money at it rather than employing old fashioned disaplin and respect for authority. The nitwit president's answer to unemployment is to extend benifits rather than rebuilding our nations crumbling intrastructure. Guess he never heard of FDR. and never attended school where american economy was taught. My wife and I are moving towards Net 0 living, but it seems that only those of us who have grown up in rural America can comprehend where we are headed.This redneck is old enough that I don't have to learn to talk Chineese. If you're younger than me, you have a long row to hoe with more weeds than crop.
