I started my company at the end of 2011. Business was doing much better under Obama. It's harder to sign clients now and to get some existing ones to pay on time. Despite doing good work, some are now trying to get multiple quotes instead of renewing contracts as well.

Very frustrating.

I don't think it's just me.
