WHO IS GRUBER? (BUT YOU CAN KEEP YOUR DOCTOR)

Bill Clinton was gleefully touting Gruber's mathematical sleight of hand this past week...laying the groundwork for 2016 Hillary:
CLINTON: "We had 100 times as many people move from poverty into the middle class," Bill Clinton told an appreciative audience during a cocktail hour hosted by POLITICO, marking the 10th anniversary of the Clinton Presidential Center. "This shows the importance of policy," he continued. "We can do this again.”
Clinton thinks Americans are stupid. He plumb "forgot" MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber crunched those numbers for the ever-ambitious Clintons....basing the numbers on the Clintons' knee-bending abortion worship. Read on.

NEW YORK – Obamacare architect, Jonathan Gruber, (exposed for his frank admissions that passing Obama's signature legislation required lying to "stupid" Americans)......published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14B in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African Americans.....and lowered crime.
MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber argued in his Clinton paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, “marginal children” would have been born to many poor mothers. Gruber said statistics show these aborted children would have been 70 percent more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40 percent more likely to live in poverty, 50 percent more likely to receive welfare and 35 percent more likely to die as an infant.
Economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book, “Freakonomics,” relied on MIT Professor Jonathan Gruber’s work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50 percent reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s. more at wnd.com
He did his job well.
He was underpaid.
Okay Dr Gruber...do us a study on how bringing in underachieving, under educated, and under vaccinated illegal aliens jibes with your numbers?
Yes, he’s been rather prolific. However, I think there’s a side to this that should be investigated under FOIA, specifically with respect to the proposals/RFQ responses he’d have had to submit to get all these ‘consulting’ contracts awarded. I’ve mentioned this two or three times here on FR, but no one seems to think anything about it.
My point, from my own experience being a research employee with a University and doing government contracts is that regardless of sole source, IDIQ, Cost Reimbursement, Cost Plus Award Fee, Fixed Price, whatever type of contract some accounting instrument has to be given that details the equipment costs, labor rates paid, their buildup with OH and G&A, Fees, and the like. To arrive at a final cost number for ‘consulting’, usually an estimated number of hours would be assumed. It is in these numbers is where I’ll bet he assumed a full-time equivalent effort (i.e., full time during the period). Some of these efforts were concurrent (with government and state agencies).
If I were an auditor, I’d be asking him how he worked full-time on all those simultaneous efforts? Which contracting entity did he screw? The government or the state(s)?
Lastly, I also believe he played some loose hanky panky with his University’s Conflict of Interest and Intellectual Property rules. If he did not, then I guess MIT could be responsible for his actions wouldn’t they?
What a fraud. MIT certainly must be desperate for staff if this con artist is employed there.
I personally doubt that the drop in crime over the last 20 years is entirely or even largely due to the legalization of abortion.
However, it is certainly possible, and a logical person will not reject evidence even if it is contrary to his deepest held beliefs.
IOW, that I believe abortion to be morally wrong doesn't mean that killing babies of poor women might not have the effect 15 or 20 years later of reducing crime.
Of course, if true that wouldn't make it right, only indicate that even immoral acts can have positive effects.
To carry this idea to its logical but utterly immoral conclusion, a highly effective way to reduce crime 15 or 20 years from now might be to require compulsory abortion for all black women who become pregnant. After all, no black people, no black crime!
Interesting how anti-capitalist redistributionists get filthy rich off the hard work of normal people.
Communism isn’t about giving power (and money) to the people. It’s about amassing power and crushing the people.
This is why he thinks we are stupid; we paid him millions to screw us over.

Or was it all by phone?
