This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO (Congressional Budget Office) did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. So its written to do that, Gruber said, suggesting it would not have passed if the law made it explicit that healthy people would pay in and the sick would get money.
Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage, Gruber continued. Call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to get the thing to pass. I wish ... we could make it all transparent. But Id rather have this law than not.
Gruber, when reached by phone yesterday, said repeatedly, I have no comment.

Try telling that to people around here. A lot of people don’t like to hear that.
Nevertheless, the solution isn’t to rub their nose in it. It is for those of us who recognize the folly of coercive big-government socialism to explicitly re-educate and broadcast the alternative: drastically cutting the unconstitutional $,000,000,000,000 federal government and thus promoting freedom from government and the voluntary free market economy which is freedom in action.
This guy is in DESPERATE need of a .308 to the head.
Would that be too fast?
I thought Jan Schakowsky’s husband, Richard Creamer, wrote the basis for ObummerCare while serving time for bank fraud. Jan is the far left loon from IL.

I hope this guy is found swinging by his neck from a lamp post; tarred and feathered of course.
I agree with the content of the "perfect quote" and did a startpage.com search on it to verify it. I was unsuccessful. Politifact.com, truthorfiction.com, and snopes.com all wrote that they could not verify the authenticity of any source other than an e-mail circulating through the ether.
save for later
Stalinists lie. ALWAYS
The “hot tar” thing is a myth. They used pine tar back then, not roofing tar/asphalt like most people nowadays think of. You don’t need to heat pine tar very much.
Blasted? Just blasted? This is grounds for immediate repeal.

Progressives are the most dishonest, lying hacks Ive ever seen."
If the super rich elite and old white rats didnt own and control ABCNNBCBS and the NY and LA Slimes, the Compost and other fish wraps, the Rat party would died a long time ago.
MSM.....................NOTHING.
Wow!
Check out the comments below the article. I’m surprised msnbc is allowing them to stay up. Not one commenter has tried to defend Obamacare or Gruber.
Great Post and good idea!
