“Whom does the smug bastard on the left side of the book cover represent, dja think? The smug bastard holding it up?”
I think that you are correct. Thanks for pointing out more Smugness from Herr Gruber, the all mighty.
What you claim the law is trying to do and what the law is, are two different things.
... and for $400,000 bucks I'd just the man for the job, with a track record of sewing obfuscation and confusion.
The Koch brothers are MIT grads. Perhaps they could persuade their alma mater to cut this guy loose.
“If the people getting paid to track this stuff down on the right were a bit more on the ball (like by about three weeks) We would have taken down Warner and Shaheen as well on Nov. 4th. Could you imagine the RATS exploding heads if the Repubs were at 56/44 in the Senate.”
You are correct about the timing. It reminds me of the hoorrible Benghazi story being held back from America so Herr Obozo would be re elected.
However, there is nothing we can do about that.
We can skewer the rats with Gruber Gate until they develop a chronic problem to make them totally irrelevant.
36B(b)(2) specifies the premium assistance amount is equal to the lesser of SEC. 36B(b)(2)(A) or SEC. 36B(b)(2)(B).
SEC. 36B(b)(2)(A) is explicitly specified as applying to an Exchange established by the State under 1311.
For SEC. 36B(b)(2)(B) to be given effect SEC. 36B(b)(2)(B) must necessarily also refer to Exchanges established by the State under 1311, otherwise 36B(b)(2) would be meaningless because a taxpayer can not be enrolled in both a state and federal exchange and whichever is the lesser amount applies.
The proposition that SEC. 36B(b)(2)(A) “Exchange established by the State under 1311 includes “Exchange established by the Federal government under 1321 is absurd. Equally ridiculous is that “Exchange established by the State under 1311 simply be read out of SEC. 36B(b)(2)(A).
Courts would have to do one or the other, introduce absurdities or read out of the statute clauses, in order for the act to satisfy what an agency, the IRS, claims is Congress’ intent. The law is not ambiguous or unreasonable, Congress’ intent is clear. There are no "errors" for the judiciary to correct.
The court can not reconstruct a statute to satisfy an agency’s claim.
The act explicitly provides tax credits for state-run exchanges and excludes such credits for federally run exchanges.
Do you mean for the right amount, you could Gruber the American People with Grubers?
bttt
Considering the deadly consequences of his lies, I’d hire armed security if I were him.
I mean I think the guy is groveling for work, cause no one will ever hire him as an outside consultant again. This smug MIT genius has made himself radioactive toxic.
He is good at digging holes. Problem is he doesn’t know when to drop the shovel...
The democrats even used the “Cadillac Tax” scam to bilk health insurance customers out of increased premium payments. The way it happened was the insurance companies were charged a 40% tax on health insurance plans considered premium level. This tax was, of course, passed on to the customer in increased premium payments. In effect, the customer paid the tax and blamed the insurance company for jacking up the rates. The Democrats snickered at the trick they played on the gullible public. Now their tricks are coming to light. Their efforts to hide their criminal conduct is unwinding.
The Democrats need a courtesy flush. Gruber and his fellow vermin have fouled the political atmosphere for too long. Their toxic effect should have prompted an EPA hazmat alert and an Al Gore money maker stench trade scheme. May the American people put the Democrats and Obamacare into permanent flush mode.
