"Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the 'stupidity of the American voter' or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.”
-Jonathan Gruber
Economist and M.I.T. professor Jonathan Gruber was one of the principle architects of Obamacare. Now a 2013 video has surfaced in which he acknowledges the lack of transparency, deceit, and creative writing that was involved to get Obamacare passed thanks to "the stupidity of the American voter"-to use Gruber's own words. The below link has the smoking gun video. Watch and listen as this arrogant big mouth runs his mouth out of control and lets the cat out of the bag.

Now I'm no legal expert here, but as a retired DEA agent who testified hundreds of times, I know one thing:
When you find the smoking gun, you must convict.
Thanks to Mr Big Mouth Gruber, we have evidence of what we have known all along: Obamacare was built on a foundation of lies. The question now is what do we do about it? Congress can start by sending a subpoena to this guy to testify. No doubt the White House will try to block that in the name of executive privilege or something like that. Fine; force him to do that in full public view.
This statement solidifies the fact that Obamacare is a failed attempt at a redistribution of wealth scam. It is not about healthcare.
ReplyDeleteAlso, remember Progressive Pilosi and her statement to the House of Representatives: "You have to sign it in order to read it." Well, that statement should have been: sign the bill you stupids. And, the stupids did with the bill.

I'm working my way backward through Gary's plethora of exuberant commentaries on this Gruber fellow, but it occurs to me that the only reason the U.S. mobilized in time to defeat Hitler is that Roosevelt, and the entire military chain of command, did exactly what Gruber's language talks about, to work around isolationists in congress and the general sentiment of the American public that "the Yanks are not coming." Both the Democratic and Republican candidates in 1940 had to promise "your sons are not going to be sent to fight in any European war." They were both lying, they both knew it, and thank God for all the efforts to prepare for war in spite of the mood of the American voters.
ReplyDeleteYou should write for the New York Times, Siarlys. That is sort of the spin they are using.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't write for the New York Times, Gary. They're a bunch of liberals. I'd get fired in the first month, if I even got hired in the first place.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, what was in the best interests of European Jews in 1938, American pacifism and strict neutrality, or re-armament?
