Congressional Research Service published a detailed report, documenting the fact that reducing taxes on the wealthy does not, in fact, generate economic growth. Instead, the CRS found, the trickle-down model appears to be "associated with the increasing concentration of income at the top."Republican economic policy deemed wrong is hurtful and Senate Republicans cry foul.

You don't suppose that report was withdrawn due to Republican pressure do you? I mean it's an independent congressional creature that is funded by congress and . . . naw, couldn't be any connection.
Right. It's like when the General Accounting Office was blocked from getting info on the Cheney Energy meetings. No partisanship involved.
I can understand the hesitance. Make too much trouble, McConnell will lead the way to filibuster their budget or something.
