Q: How can you separate politics from job policy? Normally, your erudite missives are on target. To ignore the real problem, policy, is immature at best.

A: I am not one to shy away from criticism and I thank you for your candid feedback. With all due respect, though, your response illustrates exactly why Briefing.com refrains from taking political positions. True, the policies of any presidential administration will be a factor in promoting and/or dampening job growth, but as a subscription-based business, it serves us little purpose to risk alienating many paying customers interspersing partisan political views in our analysis.

Political positions, like religious views, can be quite inflammatory, so we'll leave that to the bloggers and mass media who wish to be identified with a right wing or left wing orientation. We may talk around the edges of politics at times, but we'd prefer to let astute readers such as yourself draw your own political conclusions from the data-driven analysis presented in our pieces.
