How did he have a bad year? He made MILLIONS from your tax dollars, and won’t have to give a penny back, not face any government sanction. Oh, and ObamaCare is law, and will never be repealed, because the GOP likes it (and people like Jeb have made a lot of money off it). I’d say Mr. Gruber is doing just fine. It is Joe American who had the worst year.
Willard the RAT (laughing): "We have Grubered them all!!!"
"At the foundation of our civil liberties lies
the principle that denies to government officials
an exceptional position before the law and which
subjects them to the same rules of conduct
that are commands to the citizen."
Justice Louis D. Brandeis
He may have gotten kicked around a bit for his “fifteen minutes of fame”, but he’s sitting on a pile OF YOUR DOUGH, SUCKERS.
He is also the face of the Dhimmocrat party—too late for voting, you see.
No it's not. Like it or not, it's doubtless one cause. Not the only one, but one. That doesn't change the basic moral argument.
Far from it.
The conniving Obama calculated the ACA to consolidate Democrat power that was supposed to install a permanent Dumbocrat majority. So much for that ding-dong idea....b/c 30 lockstepping Dumbocrats who voted for it were ousted in the 2014 Democrat Demolition Derby. Several retired knowing they could not be reelected.
====================================================
WHERE IS THE MONEY? O/care also allocated some $6 billion tax dollars----spending money for Dumbocrats ----which has yet to be traced.
The Untraceable $8 Billion ObamaCare PR Budget---truly govt fraud at its finest. Egged on by Pelosi, Democrats slavishly voted for Obamacare by an historic straignt-party line vote. But not one Democrat told Americans about Obamacare's Section 4002---which mandates an $8B untraceable fund to "promote" Obamacare (apparently b/c Boobamba had so little confidence in his signature legislation).
THE PAYOFF--WHO GETS THE MONEY? In 2010 Taxpayers are extorted $500 million, in 2011, $750 million, 2012, $1 billion, 2013, $1.25 billion, 2014, $1.5 billion, and, in 2015 and on, $2 billion
<><> Where is all that money going?
<><> Was cashing-in the incentive in getting the thing passed?
The sound of West Wing wire-transfers to states and to offshore banks is almost palpable.

Foolishness.
First of all, Gruber his own self has made a killing, and continues in the lucrative business of telling state regulators and cabinet officials that they too can learn to spin straw into gold.
Second of all, by participating in the charade on Capitol Hill, he has drawn attention away from al the other Grubers who are to the Federal government as ticks to mammals, who can now in blessed anonymity continue with their “research” and “studies” to allow Congress, with a clear conscience, to continue destroying our liberties.
Gruber should have been the Time magazine man of the year. All of the Grubers together (there are thousands) constitute a previously unknown, and very powerful, Fifth Branch of government - and they aren’t going anywhere.
American taxpayers had the worst year.
If you make millions of dollars committing fraud and get caught bragging about it on tape (over and over) it’s a pretty good year if you stay out of jail and keep your job.
Ah the Shicklgruber.
RONG!
The net-income-tax paying working American has that honor.
No contest!
...like we needed more evidence of its deceit & failure!
