Remember Jonathan Gruber?  The loathsome, contemptuous architect of Obamacare has been caught out by Vermont's attorney general for corruption in a fraudulent billing scheme.  According to the Daily Caller, Gruber sent out double-invoices and invoices for work that was never done in a disgusting scheme to foist single-payer insurance onto Vermont a couple years earlier.  The program was so bad that its left-wing governor scrapped it as something that would never work. The Daily Caller writes: Donovan, the attorney general and still another Democrat, said his office determined that Gruber did, in fact, violate the Vermont Civil False Claims Act, according to the Herald. Specifically, investigators concluded that...

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber called Republicans hypocrites for complaining about the "unprecedented transparency" in the way the original Obamacare was presented and passed compared to how Republicans are handling the repeal and replace legislation. In an interview with CNN on Tuesday, Gruber accused Republicans of "jamming" through the repeal and replace bill championed by Speaker Paul Ryan. "When the Affordable Care Act was passed, it was done with unprecedented transparency," Gruber said.

How many days in and they are only mentioning his name?

Last week, Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor Jonathan Gruber, one of prominent architects of Obamacare, was exposed as little more than an elitist fraud. Gruber was caught on videotape expressing the haughty attitude that drove the Affordable Care Act, deriding the "stupidity" of Americans as a way to justify misleading them. Gruber apparently thinks such deception is OK because yokel voters could not handle the truth about the looming chaos he helped to engineer in their health coverage. Unfortunately, Gruber's disdain for the proverbial masses -- he was paid nearly $400,000 in consulting fees -- is thematic of the last...

BRISBANE, Australia — President Barack Obama denied Sunday that his signature health care reform law was deceptively marketed, rejecting statements by a consultant on the plan who said aspects of Obamacare were designed to take advantage of the “stupidity” of voters. “The fact that an adviser who was never on our staff expressed an opinion that I completely disagree with in terms of the voters is not a reflection on the actual process that was run,” Obama declared at a press conference here, speaking for the first time about the comments by MIT economist Jonathan Gruber.

Is there anything better than liberal arrogance flaunted so proudly it bites you in the butt? I think not.ObamaCare for Dummies, by DummiesSo I hope Jonathan Gruber thoroughly enjoyed shooting his mouth off on camera over and over, in that self-aggrandizing way only our big brained betters have. Because I know we sure as heck are. I must say, it’s quite refreshing to see this sort of accidental transparency reveal one of the NeoComs™ basic organizing principles: the ends justify the means.And has anyone else noticed that the bolder they get, the more totalitarian they sound? So when Sowsear1 pointed...

Ordinarily a big brained college professor telling us that we are stupid wouldn’t be particularly newsworthy. “This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure the CBO did not score the mandate as taxes,” said Gruber. “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. Call it the stupidity of the America voter, or whatever.” Butt when the big brain is Herr Jonathan Guber, MIT Professor of Economics1 and Field Marshal of Big Guy’s Operation Obamacare assault on our formerly great American health care system – and by doing so reveal the fundamental fraud at the heart of that...

Conservatives need to get over their insecurities about not being cool in the eyes of liberals. ear Reader (including the many new anti-Semitic and just plain bat-guano crazy people who’ve wandered into my life in recent days), Last night I said on Twitter: Forgetting may not be the right word. Though if this was the Soviet Union, teams of fat-fingered bureaucrats would be airbrushing his likeness from all official records. In case you’re not up to speed, let’s recap. It’s really a wonderful, feel-good story for the whole family. In the Halbig decision this week, the court ruled that according...
