Macroeconomics –Polischuk

What is really disheartening for me is the shrinking middle ground in our nation’s capital. I have long felt that our politicians (and respective political parties) spend way too much time trying to make each other look bad, and this seems to be ramping up even more quickly than our problems are.

My thinking was reinforced by a recent Schumpeter business column in the August 13th issue of The Economist. The gist of the column was that American businesses are being damaged because of the “civil war in Washington, DC...American politicians are intent, not on improving their country’s competitiveness, but on gouging each other’s eyes out.”
