Is Congress bad for business? Probably. Pending legislation, politicians' use of class warfare speech, politicians' demonizing industy sectors, legislative uncertainty, all of these can have a bad effect on job creation, economic growth.

I am editor-in-chief of REP. magazine and WealthManagement.com. We try to keep politics out of our coverage, of course, so i use my blog, VonAldo.com, as an outlet to grouse and correct the mainstream press' Democratic bias. I am a Libertarian and think that government should stay out of our lives as much as possible.

Here is how my blog starts today:

This is good news: Congress will be doing nothing until after the November election—at best. According to Slate’s blog, in action isn’t good for the economy. I don’t know. Uncertainty over legislation and taxes certainly isn’t good for business, but a money manager I know has done research that he says proves that stocks go up when Congress is not in session and goes down on days Congress is in session.
