When caught respond with condescension and adhominem attack.
Caught? LOL! Piggy is saying the whole Congressional Research Service (part of the Library of Congress) is biased because they write reports on "government funding" and thus "are dependent on staying on he gravy train of public funding." But he can't point to one substantive piece of evidence that they are biased. Frankly, that's just asinine.

What happened is that I presented a paper by a respected economist at the CRS and since he either couldn't understand or didn't like the contents, Squeally addressed the author instead of the content. He has yet to even mention one piece of content from the paper but we are to believe it is biased just because.

And you say I'm caught. You both have no idea what you are talking about.

Certainly you should know asinine. The CRS (which states it disclaims the study you present, BTW) is tax supported and provides a large gravy train for defunct economists that cannot make it outside of the Beltway. The group indeed does have a bias whether you admit it or not.

In any event, the analysis they present was performed by the JCT which certainly has a bias for the status quo (as you do - representations to the contrary notwithstanding). In addition, some of the models involved were authored or co-authored by two of those presenting the paper making the "analysis" you think is so meaningful. Right - they are completely unbiased!!

This merely shows how well entrenched the SQL crowd is inside the Beltway. And you can't even admit this. But enough of your deflection efforts that are meaningless attempts to sidetrack the FairTax.

Let's get back to your plan to push your fantasy Nightmare VAT (or today is it the Nightmare Flat) tax. Point us to your bill in Congress so we may learn of the details of the bill.

Caught indeed! Asinine is anyone who believes that anything coming for a source such as this is NOT heavily biased toward the current system.
