A Failure to Disclose ‘Nonpartisan’ Obama Donor Authors Pro-Tax-Hike Report
Free Beacon ^ | 9/19/12 | Andrew Stiles

Posted on 09/19/2012 4:23:04 PM PDT by Nachum

The author of a study that says tax cuts on high-incomes and small businesses have little to no impact on economic growth has personally donated at least $3,400 to President Obama since 2008—a fact that the media outlets touting the study have failed to disclose.

The author, Thomas L. Hungerford, also gave at least $2,450 to Democratic campaign committees during that same period.

Hungerford is a public finance specialist at the Congressional Research Service (CRS), the nonpartisan agency that provides “policy and legal analysis” for members of Congress.

“CRS is well-known for analysis that is authoritative, confidential, objective and nonpartisan,” reads the CRS website. “Its highest priority is to ensure that Congress has 24/7 access to the nation’s best thinking.”

Hungerford has also donated at least $500 to Al Gore, the Current TV executive and chakra guru who lost to George W. Bush in the 2000 presidential election.

At the time of the donation Hungerford was working for the Social Security Administration. He previously worked at the Office of Management and Budget during the Clinton Administration.

Hungerford and CRS director Mary Mazanec did not immediately return requests for comment.

So, he’s not just a lib, he’s a loser and complete idiot ... sorry, I guess I am being redundant.

This thread is missing a satire tag!
