Oh yes, the heritage foundation is a wealth of honesty, accuracy, and everything thats american. I will care about what facts they create, and statistics they manipulate.

Please. At one point the Heritage foundation made an attempt to be intellectually honest. Not anymore.

They are comically wrong on a regular basis, they manipulate statistics in ways that go beyond just cherry picking. They're nothing more then a way to create propaganda.

Weird, when I read the link it was written by Terry Miller, the director of the Center for International Trade and Economics at the Heritage Foundation, from an index produced by the Heritage Foundation. You might want to see a doctor about that willfull blindness.

Its a wall street journal opinion article written for them by the heritage foundation based off of a heritage foundation "report".

That help clarify it?

The article is a opinion peice, based on a report. The report if it follows form for the heritage foundation will consist of cherry picked values, unrepresentative of reality
