Political Problems

Over at Yahoo! Finance, The Naked Economist, Charles Wheelan, Ph.D., has an interesting column that touches on some of the themes we cover here at Eloquent American. His recent article The Real Problem in Politics? It's Us identifies three types of dysfunctional behavior that negatively impact the American political process. He also places blame on citizens who are civically disengaged and do not participate in the political process in order to effect change. I think this is an important point. We all need to work together in a productive and focused manner if we are going to make America a better place for future generations.
