Of course. Bechtel Foundation is funding AEI and Heritage Foundation.
That would be Bechtel, the construction corporation rebuilding Iraq. The FCC should require that all pundits come with a disclaimer at the bottom of the screen. On CNBC, they now have to identify their holdings in the companies they talk about. I want the same for political pundits.

1. Like Bill Schneider?
He's AEI scum too. Raises my blood pressure every time I see/hear him on CNN, delivering his "commentary".

2. Exactly. And I want it to say more than AEI.
I want to know financial interests.

3. ah yes, the heritage foundation....
whose idea to improve the economy would be to eliminate the minimum wage. I am sure Bechtel would have a financial interest in that and ultimately bringing down those pesky union wages.
