Youth Politics

I’ve been following several economic blogs for quite some time now, and one that I do check up on regularly is FixThePig. Now, since this is mostly a political blog, I probably don’t touch on many of the economic issues that surface themselves unless they are really making a political impact. I’ve found however that FixThePig really complements this blog well when it comes to economic issues. And, as you all know, the economy and politics is almost always intertwined.

I like the blog. It’s simple, easy to read, and has great information and ideas on current and future economic issues. At times I even use it as a news source, or for a different perspective than mine on the current state of the economy. I always provide my input when I have one to give, even if it may differ from the author’s because of how inviting the blog is to commenting. It’s definitely a plus when it comes to a debatable topic such as economics.

As an avid reader and follower of FixThePig, I noticed a contest that they are currently holding for a chance to win $50 in cold hard cash simply for commenting. How cool is that? All you have to do is leave some good feedback on posts and you’ll maybe make yourself a bit of money! Seems like a good deal to me!

You can also get even more chances to win by writing up a full post on your own blog about the FixThePig contest. Now you’re all probably saying to yourself right now that it’s really the only reason I’m writing this post. I’ll be honest, it’s a very powerful incentive, but I would have eventually given a shout-out to FixThePig anyway, and am considering adding them to my “Awesome Political Blogs” section, which I am of course planning to rename.

If you want in on a potential $50 in your wallet, check out FixThePig’s Contest Page. Just comment or make a blog post about the contest and you’re all set for a chance to win!
