Any uncertainty keeps people from spending their disposable income. The people that own a quail/pheasant hunting ranch told me that they book 25% less hunts on election years because people don’t want to spend extra money on pleasure hunts. This year is especially bad. People are just cautious with their money. Cars are the same kind of non essential spending. If people expect things to change for the worse, they save their cash. People are mistaken if they think a President make all the decisions. Lots of people behind the curtain pulling strings.
