All lies. We know that as a fact.
When you look up “pack of lies” online, this article by Herr Gruber should pop up. Virtually NOTHING he says here about ObamaCare turns out to be true.
This guy’s absolutely full of s***.
...and the horse he road in on.
kiss off Jonathan you nimrod
Why didn't anyone notice it at the time?
Oh... Wait!
"The primary role of the government in this reform is as a financier of the tax credits that individuals will use to purchase health insurance from private companies through state-organized exchanges.
Nov. 15, 2014: “....The weeklong #GruberGate, as it has been dubbed on Twitter, comes just as the Massachusetts Health Connector prepares to relaunch its website today for open enrollment after a devastating year that saw residents struggling to sign up for health plans.
Gruber, a Connector board member, told Bay Staters on Thursday to “give us another chance,” but Archambault said the professor is the last thing the embattled panel needs as it seeks credibility.
“It does raise big questions about his ongoing involvement in Massachusetts, sitting on the board,” Archambault said.
Gruber did not return an email seeking comment yesterday and there was no answer at his Massachusetts Institute of Technology office. He has declined multiple requests for interviews this week with the Herald. “

BUMP!
He goes by Jim Gruber? Can’t blame him, although, if he’s trying to hide, he should have changed the last name instead.
The Tea-Party and the GOP need to really fan the flames on this. This is documented proof of what we all have known - the Dem’s lie to get their socialist agenda passed. This is just another in a long list.
The Dem’s succeed by building what is a self-reinforcing cycle:
1. Determine what socialist issue they want to promote, and laws they want to pass.
2. Flog a populist message about helping the little-guy and the helpless by taxing the wealthy. This is a numbers game - there are more voters that are poor than there are that are rich. All the better if your program creates a dependency of these voters on government hand-outs.
3. Find external “experts” with lots of degrees from major Universities, where you can cite their research and reports that support the position you want to promote.
4. Pay said “experts” (that already agree with your position, or that are just academic prostitutes) to do more supportive research, and speak publicly on behalf of the policies you want to promote. The zealot-experts would do it for free, but are happy to take the money as a perceived reward. The useful-idiot-experts (like Krugman) know they can’t make money in the real world, so become dependent on what is just another government handout or bribe.
5. Enlist the compliant media to (a) promote the message and (b) attack any detractors and (c) hide the truth.
If it blows up, like this one is doing, you blame the experts. Afterall, they were duped just like everyone else.
What’s surprising to me is that conservative commentators haven’t yet linked this methodology, on stark display here, to climate-change scientists and debate. It’s the exact same thing - find and exploit the works of “name” scientists from “name” universities to promote a socialist wealth redistribution scheme for pay.
Can it be that an unintended (or perhaps intended) consequence of GruberGate is to quash all of the talk about ressurecting Mitt Romnmey for another run at the republican presidential nomination in 2016?
That certainly is a big side benefit.
