Rea S. Hederman Jr.
Rea S. Hederman Jr. is a Senior Policy Analyst and the Assistant Director at The Heritage Foundation's Center for Data Analysis.[1]
Hederman was contributing author to a series of "analytic" reports on how well the Bush economy was doing post-9/11. When the jobs numbers look bad, Hederman makes up excuses and invents hypotheses like "changing the rules of game, for the overall benefit of most workers and consumers" to explain the "Jobless Recovery".[2]
Hederman continues his campaign to shore up the Bush tax cuts ("make the President’s tax cuts permanent")[3], opposing bailouts ("should not bail out states")[4]
, false prophesy ("the economy is doing better now than at this point in the past three downturns")[5], Big Oil praise ("Congress can remedy by repealing the ethanol mandate and not reinstating the ban on offshore oil drilling")[6], increase offshoring of American jobs ("Congress can also enact a series of bilateral free trade agreements")[7], and recession denial ("Not Indicative of a Recession")[8].
