Washington Post business columnist Steven Pearlstein wrote a chilling column titled "So goes the center, so goes the economy" about our nation's political polarization and how the results of primaries earlier this week could be a harbinger of things to come. The part that stood out for me was:
"This is the way wealthy nations become poor. There are no vibrant economies without effective political systems, and there are no effective political systems without a vibrant center."
Something to think about if you're considering voting for a hyper-partisan candidate on the left or the right this year...
