In a way, this makes sense. They are, after all, Personal Finance blogs, not political blogs. Also since people reading the blogs probably have a wide range of political opinions, bloggers may be reluctant to post something that might offend a large number of their readers.

On the other hand, what is going on politically (at least in the US) is going to have a huge impact on people’s personal finances. I can’t see how legislation and policies that have an effect on the economy on every single level could not be of interest on a personal finance blog. Anyone who got shafted last week by the Federal government’s “deal” with Bank of America may agree…

Cheers,

Ken
