Economic Death Spiral: More American Businesses Dying Than Starting

Big Government reports:

In a stunning Tuesday report, Gallup CEO and Chairman Jim Clifton revealed that “for the first time in 35 years, American business deaths now outnumber business births.”

Clifton says for the past six years since 2008, employer business startups have fallen below the business failure rate, spurring what he calls “an underground earthquake” that only stands to worsen as lagging U.S. Census data becomes available.

A cartelized economy limits competition. This is what many politically connected businesses want.
