Per Calculated Risk:
There were a couple of interesting comments on discretionary spending:
"Uncertainty is having the usual effect on business. Our response is traditional — stop all discretionary spending."
"Business down significantly! Discretionary spending disappearing."
This is exactly how businesses (and consumers) react to uncertainty - halt all discretionary spending. This is usually a temporary reaction until the business can adjust to changes in economic conditions.
