The Disconnect Between Business and Politics

The disconnect between government at all levels and the business community, because successful business owners and entrepreneurs will do whatever it takes. If they're going through some difficult times and they've got to save money, they will do whatever it takes to stay in operation. They will be as fair as possible with everybody, staff and so on and so forth. But they will do what it takes, and they'll make difficult decisions if they have to. There's tremendous disconnect from the business community that are very accountable for their decisions that they make with regard to their businesses and their payrolls and such and so forth. There's a lack of understanding, understanding of how the public purse works, how the public budget process works, and how it never appears that government cuts back.
