Tanden may have used her high position to get a left-wing labor blogger fired for calling her "scumbag neera" over her alleged role in 'reforming' welfare in the '90s, ultimately harming those in extreme poverty.
Edit: the blogger was also an expectant father.
This only substantiates that theory.
- argonaut 10y agoThe blogger had a full-time job. The blogging was just a side thing. Neera denies having him fired (as opposed to the org firing him on their on decision).

- tanderson92 10y agoThe blogger was subsequently fired from the full-time position. Neera lies, a lot: http://coreyrobin.com/2016/06/25/neera-and-me-two-theses-about-the-american-ruling-class-and-one-about-neera-tanden/ http://coreyrobin.com/2016/06/25/neera-and-me-two-theses-abo...
- argonaut 10y agoCitation for the first claim?
- tanderson92 10y agoTwitter. Unfortunately, I don't have a link handy. You can also go to the blogger's personal site and find his resume showing an end of full-time employment. There were a number of people who did not like his combative style in disproving liberals' claims, who banded together to complain to his full time employer.
