Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber billed the State of Vermont for hours that “were impossible for him to accomplish

for one of the invoices, which is September, and this is just an example, he billed out 500 hours a month for his research assistants. Well, the auditor found that he only had one research assistant. So, if you do that math

the auditor even criticized the Democrat administration up here for this. The people who were supposed to be overseeing this contract did not demand any details at all from Professor Gruber. They just said — they just asked for these summary bills and then they paid them without question.”

When you’re a lot “smarter” than the dorks that hired you, why not rip ‘em off?
See how smart they are at MIT, and how stupid everyone else is?
Isn’t this the guy who’s supposed to be brilliant at math...
But, but, but... he’s a liberal and so much smarter than all the rest of us... /s
Obviously Gruber is a lying fraudulent POS. But then, he's one of bammy's buddies so I guess that goes without saying. Seems anyone and everyone connected with bammy and the 'rats is a lying POS. That's not prejudice talking, that's a taxpayer talking from experience.
Two predictions:
First, the government will get involved, because Gruber caused them no end of grief with his honest “stupid electorate” comments.
Second, the whole thing will be written off as a typo—he meant to put down 50 hours, rather than 500. He’ll return the difference.
Global Warming Scammers are doing the same... the whole ‘University’ system is chocked with liberal filth.
Time to check out ALL liberal ‘grants’...

Does anyone believe that this would EVER happen to one of owebama’s cronies?
Accenture should hire him to work in their billing department...
When you are hired to lie and make up numbers, should your employer expect that you will lie and make up numbers on your bill for services?

Cheating, lying, and stealing are just a way of life for liberals.
They will say they will return the money but never do it. We call this “Doing A Hillary”.
Grad students are expendable, sleep is optional. ;-)
Nothing new there.
Union workers in Philadelphia have been doing that for decades.
Reminds me of the joke about the 35 year old lawyer who died in a car crash. He amazed St. Peter with his youthful appearance. St. Peter thought he was 120, based on his billing records.
Slightly OT, but this post calls to mind a really old lawyer joke that some of the younger whippersnappers out there in Freeperland May not have heard.
It seems there was once a successful young lawyer, not yet thirty, who had achieved enough success to acquire a really hot Italian sports car. He had not, unfortunately, yet acquired enough good judgment and experience to operate it safely, and promptly wrapped himself and the car around an oak tree, resulting in his departure for the pearly gates decades too soon.
When St. Peter met him, he pulled out a thick file folder and explained that, given the descedant’s earthly profession, a more careful perusal of his record than normal would be required before he could enter.
After a minute or two, the good saint mentioned, without looking up, that it at least appeared that the lawyer had enjoyed a good, long life.
“What do you mean?”, protested the lawyer. “I wasn’t even thirty!”
St. Peter squinted over the rim of his specs at the man, and observed, “That can’t be. I’m looking at your billable hours records, sir. You cannot possibly be less than eighty years old”.
