Won't you EVER learn?


Now that Heritage policy analyst Rea Hederman has got his ASS in a crack with his bosses at the Heritage Foundation, he's attempting to renege on his original comments to the New York Sun reporter.


Why haven't we seen a RETRACTION by the New York Sun if what the Staff Reporter of the Sun, RUSSELL BERMAN was in any way incorrect????


After working in the newspaper industry for most of my adult life I can ASSURE you that anytime....ANYTIME......a reporter writes incorrect or false information in a major daily newspaper. A formal "RETRACTION" is forthcoming as soon as the actual "error" (if there WAS one!) is brought to the attention of the newspapers management team. It NEVER happened.


The Heritage policy analyst Rea Hederman is now simply attempting to get his "CONservative" allies at the Heritage Foundation and other "Conservatives" off his ASS now. Plain & Simple.


Here is EXACTLY what he said as published in the Sun...............

Heritage Hails 'Great Step in The Right Direction'
By RUSSELL BERMAN, Staff Reporter of the Sun | August 15, 2008



WASHINGTON — Senator Obama, with his lead against Senator McCain narrowing in some polls, is trying to portray himself as the real tax-cutter in the presidential race.


And even some conservatives are praising him for it.


A senior policy analyst at the conservative Heritage Foundation, Rea Hederman Jr., praised Mr. Obama for proposing a 20% tax rate on dividends and capital gains, lower than a 28% rate he had initially floated, though still more than the current 15% rate. "That's a great step in the right direction," Mr. Hederman said. "It's a big change from what we thought the Obama tax plan would be at the beginning of the summer."


Mr. Hederman said the middle class would likely pay less under Mr. Obama's plan than Mr. McCain's but that the Democrat was excessively reliant on complicated tax breaks that would make the tax code more confusing.

From The Economist print edition

In our special report on the election we analyse the two candidates’ economic plans. Here, we ask professional economists to give us their views


The detailed responses are bad news for Mr McCain (the full data are available here).

http://www.economist.com/ecsurvey/


Eighty per cent of respondents and no fewer than 71% of those who do not cleave to either main party say Mr Obama has a better grasp of economics. Even among Republicans Mr Obama has the edge: 46% versus 23% say Mr Obama has the better grasp of the subject. “I take McCain’s word on this one,” comments James Harrigan at the University of Virginia, a reference to Mr McCain’s infamous confession that he does not know as much about economics as he should. In fairness, Mr McCain’s lower grade may in part reflect greater candour about his weaknesses. Mr Obama’s more tightly managed image leaves fewer opportunities for such unvarnished introspection.
