We have a panoply of new regulations effective next year as well as additional taxes as the Bush cuts expire.

Not to mention anything new this marxist administration and congress manage to pass between now & then.

On what grounds does anyone feel optimistic for the economy?

A degree of what is considered normality is retuning.
