"Voters are stupid" economist Jonathan Gruber and Marilyn Tavenner face Issa and the House Oversight & Government Reform Committee today on C-SPAN 3.
FOX News reports that Tavenner has asked that she be seated anywhere but next to Gruber. Apparently, Gruber is radioactive. Time will tell whether this affliction is covered under Obamacare.
Maloney looks like a bag of hammers without the bag
Carolyn Maloney (D) NY has a frightful case of bed head this morning.
Yep... they were both reading their parts.
Gruber’s strategy is to pretend he was just “somebody in the neighborhood” and that his outrageous comments had nothing to do his analysis or politics. Gruber is trying his best to give the idea that he was just a bit player in the whole thing. That he just crunched some numbers and that was the end of it.
Carolyn Maloney badly needs a new hairdresser.
Guiliani on Fox: Gruber was either lying then or lying now. To claim the bill was fully transparent is an insult. Obvious they created a deceptive model to show that people will save money. Liars like Gruber are teaching today’s young people. Producing a deceptive model and getting paid for it is the definition of fraud.
Mica R-FL up.
SO the dem congresswoman reads the questions, and Tavner reads the answers....
Shades of pre-rehearsed......
Mica R-FL up.
Deliver for the home state Mica.......
2.5 million!!!!!
Holy chit.
I don’t recall, my brain is jello!
How about a statement that the U.S. will “claw back” the $4 million dollars this guy Gruber was paid???
Gruber, an MIT ECONOMIST, can’t count???
pubbies kickin’ some diaper today!
Mica - FL
60 contractors ! Who are the others?
Mica keeping to facts, gets Gruber to affirm contract and amount of money
People are still uninsured.
Tavener responds to Mica
Mica says this is not a success
Do we need the people who have fed off the public trough
Mica hitting Gruber about the $2.5 million he got from the states and fed for his “services”.
Mica: “We now have over 40 million people without health insurance.”
“Do we need people who have fed off the public trough...?”
Evade, evade, evade...
Because they know nothing will ever come of their words. Feign indignation to please the base, but when the time comes to take action, they'll be AWOL.
It appears that both Tavenner and Gruber may have suffered strokes as evidenced by their memory loss.
The last few minutes should be the sound clips for the day... but most Americans are not likely to hear about:
o How many were not covered?
o How many lost coverage?
o How much did Gruber make?
o In how many individual States?
These are the “Stupid” people.
Gruber refusing to answer how much money he has made off the US taxpayers...
Says, take it up with my lawyer...
I wanna see Gruber’s tax return.
