“South Carolina has been winning tremendous new business per capita,” says Andy Mace, managing director of Global Business Consulting, Supply-Chain Solutions, for Cushman & Wakefield. “That state is punching above its fighting weight.”

SC is going to blow up if we are able to elect a Republican president in 2016. It has done well even if the worst depression since the great depression.
