Why so Few Articles on "Economic and Political Sanity" Blog?

Today the question was put to me, "Why do you publish so few and infrequent articles on your blog, 'Economic and Political Sanity?'"

The answer is simple:  I do not write for a living but merely write and publish when something is important to me.


On the other hand, there are lots of subjects to write about, but I am not interested in writing to just scribble about something...anything.  My gut and my subconscious tell me when and on what to scrawl an article.

My only deadline is when yours truly worries about something that concerns our country, economically or politically.  There are many things to worry about in both of these areas, but this scribe works when there is a sliver of a chance that he can be a catalyst by getting through to a policy or decision maker.

"Economic and Political Sanity" has readers in 19 countries; one reader who is a former President of the United States and several who are current members of the U.S. Congress.

As citizens of this chaotic democratic republic, we should all concern ourselves about the future of this nation.  Our survival as a nation depends on it.

Democracy is not easy; it is expensive and unruly to defend our rights and freedoms, but it is necessary to maintain our republic. Some of us just wish our political leaders would compromise more to get the peoples' business done, instead of digging their heels in on each and every issue.

The Revolutionary Founding Fathers of The United States did not have the luxury of not compromising, as Great Britain wanted their American colonies and tax base back.  Therefore, we fought a second war with England in the early 1800s.  Then France wanted us to fight as their ally in another war before America was able to even stand on its own.

Our politicians need to decide if their own egos or our democracy is more important.

Compromise in Congress, the Senate, and the Executive Branch to get the peoples' business done!
