Geee Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 Daily Caller: Infamous Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber told people not to read Obamacare, admitted he never knew how to control costs in the law and said he designed it by “throwing stuff at the wall” in one of his most characteristic public speeches. In between taking personal shots at conservatives, he actually thanked congressional Democrats for voting against their constituents. As Gruber faces the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Tuesday morning, here are some classic Gruber-ish quotes from a San Francisco podcast appearance in January 2012: Obama lied about the law and told congressmen to vote against their constituents’ wishes: “I wish that President Obama could have stood up and said, ‘You know, I don’t know if this bill is going to control costs. It might, it might not. We’re doing our best. But let me tell you what it’s going to do…” (goes on to explain that some people would die without insurance) (49:55) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geee Posted December 9, 2014 Author Share Posted December 9, 2014 Bush Administration Paid Gruber $1,248,000 to be 'Expert Witness' (CNSNews.com) -- For the $2.2 million MIT economist Jonathan Gruber has been paid by the federal government since 2000, he collected $516,000 during Clinton’s presidency, $1,248,000 during the Bush administration, and $452,600 after President Barack Obama took office. An assistant economics professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology by 1992, Gruber’s career with the federal government started in 1997 when he took a leave of absence from MIT to serve as deputy assistant secretary of economic policy for the Department of the Treasury under former President Bill Clinton. He only served in that position for a year, leaving to become a full professor at MIT in 1998. http://cnsnews.com/news/article/brittany-m-hughes/bush-administration-paid-gruber-1248000-be-expert-witness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
