Jonathan Gruber told the truth about ObamaCare in 2009. He said it would not be affordable. We don’t hate him because of the truth, we hold him in contempt for continuing to work on the biggest legislative abomination that has ever been vomited from the bowels of Congress.

Jonathan Gruber  was a key White House advisor and was paid handsomely for his ‘expert economic advice’, but the actual dollar amount remains a mystery. Jonathan learned that telling the truth, and then being forever captured on digital film stating that “Americans are stupid“ was an asinine thing to do.

Gruber was dumb enough to make the following statement from a panel, “This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure the CBO did not score the mandate as taxes”.

Grilling Gruber

Chaiman Darrell Issa grilled Gruber about the tactics of ‘cost shifting’ which is how ObamaCare would be paid for. If one person is getting it at a discount, then someone else is getting it at an inflated rate.

Issa was characteristically the good guy on a hit squad, at some points praising Gruber for being ‘smart’ and at other times questioning his intelligence. It was brilliant.

Gruber claimed that overall costs fell because health exchanges were set up that pooled risk and then was dumb enough to bring up the offset which are ‘tax credits’.

Issa, not buyging the liberal talking points kept at Gruber, stating “Total costs did not go down. Cost shifting occurred in your model, isn’t that true”?

Gruber’s response, “Average costs fell in my model” to which Issa fired back, “It didn’t fall in reality”.

Chairman Issa then moved on to Gruber’s video comments that he had to “deceive in order to get things passed”, and “if deception was part of the process by your own model, from your own statements – why should we believe your analysis? Why should we not demand to go into the microeconomic analysis and find out whether in fact the $4 million in services you delivered were accurate or whether the books were cooked?”

Gruber became visibly shaken and angry and said, “First of all no one has ever questioned the quality or the integrity of the model, the fact…” and he was cut off by Darrel Issa’s sharp response, “Mr. Gruber, I’m questioning it in light of your statements, that’s why I’m asking – shouldn’t we question or at least have independent analysis of the numbers you delivered…based on your statements that if people knew the truth they wouldn’t…that there was a deception, and that’s all I want…”.

The Deliberate Deception of ObamaCare

Gruber stated in one video that, “If people had knew the whole truth they wouldn’t have voted for this.”

How bittersweet it is though, because Gruber isn’t giving the money back. No, he’s going on talk shows, and appearing before the House Oversight Committee. Oh, he was humble when he was grilled by a Congressional panel. That is, if you consider what a liberal will do when backed into a corner with damning evidence that cannot be disputed.

The Truth Hurts

The truth is that American voters really are stupid. They were so easily deceived in 2008 that they voted for the same deception in 2012.

It’s A Tax – No It’s a Fine

Well guess what folks. This is the year that the fine kicks in and it’s based on your income. In 2014, the fine is estimated to be $95 – not exactly a heartache, but remember, you are paying a fine for a product that you didn’t purchase.

Imagine that. Paying a fine for a product you have never used.

Congratulations America. You passed the retard test.
