Commercial Printing Outlook : Healing Light Cast on 2011

Rather than the election results, Paparozzi believes the response of the new Congress and President Barack Obama to the Bowles-Simpson Deficit Reduction Plan will be the real indicator of any positive impact on the economic outlook.

"Right now, the election is a non-factor because it didn't prove anything," he asserts. "Everyone knows what has to be done. The question is: will they work together to craft a credible plan for getting it done? The response to the deficit reduction commission will be our first indication of whether anything has, in fact, changed, rather than simply shuffling a bunch of seats around."
