Gowdy was telling the Professor, in his sarcastic manner that the voters that rejected him, the bill and the administration were not stupid.
I still think the professor was calling the Democrats stupid, based on who paid him a few million dollars for his lies and deceptions.
“Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage,”
Mr. Gruber said. “Call it the stupidity of the American voter, or whatever. But basically, that was really, really critical to getting the thing to pass.”
"Those “stupid” people have been extremely generous to
Mr. Gruber. The
Government Accountability Office(
GAO) in 2010 investigated the $297,600 that the Department of Health and Human Services paid
Mr. Gruberto sing the praises of the health care scheme.
Minnesota, for example, used federal Obamacare grants to pay
Mr. Gruberto attend one meeting, participate in a biweekly email list and print a copy of the report, all for $329,000. Wisconsin paid
Mr. Gruber$400,000 for the same material, requested by the
officeof then-Gov. Jim Doyle, a Democrat. When the report was presented, Gov. Scott Walker, a Republican, didn’t want
Mr. Gruber at the news conference. Vermont is paying him another $400,000. Such a deal!
West Virginia, Maine, Colorado and Oregon have partaken of
Mr. Gruber’s services, too, guaranteeing him a tidy sum. The money bought lies and deception. That’s
Mr. Gruber’s characterization, not ours.
“If you had a law which made it explicit that healthy people are going to pay in and sick people get money,” said
Mr. Gruber, “it would not have passed.”
